NFL Draft prospect CJ Stroud seemed to confirm his low S2 cognition test score during an interview before Thursday's showpiece event.
According to Go Long, the 21-year-old scored 18% on the test compared to 98% from Byrce Young, who is in line to be drafted first. S2 is a 30-to-45-minute exercise with the endeavour to get a read on an athlete’s ability to process information, make decisions and react to different situations. “Stroud scored 18,” an executive reportedly told the outlet, and described it as a ‘red alert’.
“That is like red alert, red alert, you can’t take a guy like that,” the unnamed executive added. “That is why I have Stroud as a bust. That in conjunction with the fact, name one Ohio State quarterback that’s ever done it in the league. The S2 people will say, ‘Hey, guys that graded high on this test don’t always play well. But, we’ve never had somebody grade low and play well.’”
