Following a report earlier this week that Justin Herbert scored in the middle of the quarterback pack in the Wonderlic test, a new report is out saying that Herbert actually scored significantly higher. After a report on Friday posted that Justin Herbert scored a 25 out of 50 on the NFL Combine's intelligence test, wide receiver and fellow draft prospect Chase Claypool took to twitter to state that the report was inaccurate.

According to Bob McGinn of The Athletic, Herbert scored a 25 on the test but Claypool posted on twitter Friday saying, "Fake news! Herbert got a 39. #QB1".

That was followed on Saturday by NFL reporter Albert Breer confirming the higher test result for Herbert.

"So this is actually correct. I'm told Oregon QB Justin Herbert did score a 39 on the Wonderlic at the combine in Indy," posted Breer.

Herbert's score of a 39 on the Wonderlic places the quarterback second among the reported test results. Iowa's Nate Stanley scored the highest on the test with an impressive 40, followed by Georgia's Jake Fromm (35) and LSU's Joe Burrow (34). Breer also clarified that Tua Tagovailoa scored a 19 on the test, rather than the 13 that was initially reported.

The score of a 39 on the test is much more in line with what's expected of Herbert, known for being a high academic student. The former Oregon quarterback was known for having high academic marks, finishing out his Oregon career with a 4.01 GPA. Herbert took home the 2019 William V. Campbell Trophy, also known as the "Academic Heisman" for his accomplishments in the classroom.

Over the past few weeks, Herbert has seen his stock rise and is the second quarterback off the draft board in many mock drafts.

ESPN's Mel Kiper moved the Oregon product to be the No. 2 quarterback off the board behind his No. 1 overall projection Joe Burrow.

"There has been some buzz around Herbert to Miami, and it's real. The 6-foot-6 signal-caller has a lot of supporters across the league, and they love his upside and traits. And Herbert doesn't have the durability concerns that have a few teams worried about Tua Tagovailoa's future," wrote Kiper.

While Tua Tagovailoa ranks as Kiper's overall No. 5 prospect on his big board and Justin Herbert is the No. 10 prospect, the analyst believes that Miami will make the move to go with Herbert instead.

"On my board, I have Tagovailoa higher, but this is about projecting what I believe teams will do. And nine days from the start of Round 1, I'm leaning Herbert to Miami."

Unlike Tagovailoa who has had to send tape to every NFL team, Herbert was able to previously showcase his talents in two major pre-NFL draft events, the Senior Bowl and the Combine. Herbert capped off his college career as the Rose Bowl MVP and then took home Senior Bowl MVP and Senior Bowl practice player of the week honors. At the combine, Herbert was the top quarterback throwing at the event with Tua Tagovailoa and Joe Burrow both electing not to work out that week.
