S2 Cognition tests may have tanked Ohio State Buckeyes’ star quarterback CJ Stroud’s NFL Draft stocks after scoring 18 per cent, with rival QB Bryce Young finishing near perfect on 98.
The testing method has developed a strong reputation in the NFL and can play a considerable role when quarterback prospects are drafted later this month. S2 is a 30-to-45-minute exercise which will help measure athletes’ process information, make decisions and react to situations down to the millisecond on response pads.
And, according to Go Long, pre-S2 quarterback NFL Draft top-five prospect Stroud slumped to a miserable 18 per cent, which has been described as a “red alert” by an NFL executive. “Stroud scored 18,” an executive said.
