INDIANAPOLIS - Texans general manager Charley Casserly disputed reports that Vince Young got a poor score on the Wonderlic test.

Young reportedly got a six on the 50 question test, which grades intelligence and speed of thought. If that were the case, the Texas quarterback would have gotten one of the worst scores in history.

“Yes I’ve been told that’s inaccurate by a source good enough for me to stand up here to quote it,” Casserly said Sunday. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t get up here and say it.”

An NFL spokesman said scores don’t come out until a week after the combine.

Casserly might have been defending his future quarterback. The Texans have the first pick in the April draft, and he named three players as standing above the rest: Young, USC quarterback Matt Leinart and USC running back Reggie Bush.

Casserly left multiple possibilities open, including trading the pick to improve his 2-14 team.

“We need a lot of things,” he said. “I think we’ve got a nucleus. I don’t think we’re as bad as our record, but we’re not a playoff team. We can make a jump here if things are hit right between free agency and the draft.”

The Tennessee Titans have the third overall pick and are looking at quarterbacks with Steve McNair nearing retirement. Coach Jeff Fisher put Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler in the mix with Leinart and Young.

Leinart and Young didn’t work out at the combine, but Cutler felt he needed to in order to make a push.

“There’s a little attention and stress, but we’re here to do our testing and we’ve just got to go out and do it,” Cutler said. “I’m just thankful to be here right now.”

Fisher said it’s important for players to show their skills at the combine.

“I think it’s just an additional opportunity to showcase your ability,” he said. “All of us here, we see this as an extended job interview period that started when the season ended, all the way up to the draft. This is an additional opportunity to work out.”

Aside from quarterbacks, Casserly said the linebacker class is strong, with A.J. Hawk, Chad Greenway, DeMeco Ryans and Ernie Sims.

“I think it’s a good one,” he said. “I think you’ve got some good ones in this class. A.J. Hawk is good, Greenway is good. You’ve got some real good linebackers in this draft.”
