It looks like the the running backs can't prepare for it or just don't care to.
Only one player attempted to answer all 50 questions the first time around and it was not a QB.

The Wonderlic test is a 12-minute, 50-question test commonly given to NFL prospects as a measure of intelligence, designed to test learning and problem-solving skills. Questions increase in difficulty, so few prospects finish all 50 questions, and players are instructed before the test to answer the questions sequentially. The score is the number of questions answered correctly, followed by the total number of questions answered.
In recent years, the test has lost its significance to NFL clubs as many players are now prepared for the test from extensive Combine preparation, during which they often see exact copies of the tests to be given. “We look at it, but we pay little attention to it,” one NFL GM said.
“All of these kids are so well-prepared nowadays — the test that carries the most relevance to us is their first test.”
