Indianapolis Colts GM hits out at "b*******" NFL Draft claims after quarterback decision

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has hit out at “b*******” claims made about Houston Texans newboy CJ Stroud.

Ahead of the NFL Draft, which got underway on Thursday, an unnamed NFL executive told Go Long that the 21-year-old had only scored 18 per cent in his S2 cognition test during an interview. By comparison fellow quarterback Bryce Young, who became this year’s first overall pick when he was snapped up by Carolina Panthers, scored 98 per cent.

The S2 test measures a player’s ability to process information, make decisions and react to various situations. And Ballard appeared to be referring to the leak when he leapt to the defence of young players in the game. “I’m not going to lie to you all, I get frustrated,” Ballard told reporters.
