Hooey like the Wonderlic. Simply not applicable to actual performance in the game of football. Lotta dudes I knew couldn't ace the SAT but could memorize the hell out of a concept and think on their feet.

At least... that's what Stroud seems to indicate

If Bryce Young aced this exam they need to scrap it now...

CJ Stroud.

The end.

CJ could also be the exception, I read that most QB scored well.

What does the S2 measure?

Accuracy and speed of cognitive reasoning in a sports specific manner, including grading of some tendencies like rhythm and distractibility. Here's a screenshot of some example results on their site.

I was a bit rash calling it Wonderlic-level hooey, but it doesn't seem like a test that really measures performance when you add in the variables of coaching, scheme, etc.

Also, I can't believe CJ would score an 18%. He had some worrying stuff in college, but most of it was because he wasn't required to do a lot of things in college that he'd have to do as a pro.

That’s what surprised me. Obviously, that’s a terrible score.

I wonder how much of that influenced Carolina’s decision.
