Prior to the 2023 NFL Draft it was revealed that C.J. Stroud posted the worst S2 cognitive test score of any quarterback in that year’s class.
While the poor test score did not scare the Texans away from selecting the former Ohio State standout with the second pick of the draft, critics still asserted that Stroud might struggle at the next level based on the S2.
Stroud proved all the naysayers wrong by posting one of the best statistical seasons of any rookie signal-caller in NFL history. The 6' 3" 218 pound gun-slinger finished eighth among all quarterbacks in passing yards (4,108) despite missing two games after suffering a concussion in Week 14 against the Jets.
