CJ Stroud's Recollection Is INSANE 🤯

[@jumpmastermp21]

They said he did poorly on the new intelligence test before the draft. C’mon man, CJ just did football quantum physics for you right there.

[@Evilene52]

My understanding is that test is implemented like playing video games. He just didn't want to be bothered playing games after arriving from California to Indy late that night. I also heard the score percentage they released was not correct.

[@jameskuhns3544]

1. I believe the #s the media got ahold of were inaccurate. 2. It's not an intelligence test. It doesn't test your recall or the depth of your football knowledge. It's a cognitive test that looks at your visual tracking speed, and is done in a lab and not on a football field. You can be better on a field than in a lab.

[@devinshearer7523]

Lmao deadass Gronk was dumb as a pile of rocks but on the field he’s a genius. Intelligence on the field is a completely different thing

[@DaGreatGatsby123]

@@Evilene52The test is more so like would this throw lead to a touchdown, pick six, first down, tackle for a loss. Like multiple choice but for play options. Obviously none of the options actually fits the scenario because the real answer is positive yards but it gives crazy answers to scenarios that might not happen on the field with the field position they ask you to answer the question from

[@rifraf1717]

It was a reaction test I think....like processing and making the right choice...I don't think it's a useless test because it did in fact show Brock Purdy...the problem is, meetings with potential teams, combine, etc....that stuff really eats up way too much on a player...I believe Bryce didn't even do the combine...it's interesting though because the upcoming draft will have a pretty wild way of evaluation.

[@Agueroooo]

Not only does he remember his thought process perfectly, he went through all those steps in his head in about 3 seconds during the play. This guy is truly special.
