Re: OT - Cornell kid almost as Wicked Smaht - 19 years ago
IIRC, Seth Payne shot up the draft board when he turned in the third-highest Wonderlic score of the year when he took the test in 1997. He ended up getting drafted nine spots ahead of Chad Levitt in the fourth round. Levitt's failure to stick in the NFL was almost as disappointing to me as Ratushny's failure to stick in the NHL. At least Payne is still playing.by ugarte - Hockey
