I watched most of both games. CJ Stroud lived up to, or more accurately down to, his horrible S2 score and made a really bad decision on his interception. Over the years since the S2 was developed as a standardized test is has shown that high scores tend to relate to success in the league, but do not guarantee success. On the other hand, low scores have a very accurate relationship to failure in the league. Stroud had one of the lowest ever recorded. Unlike the Wonderlic it has nothing to do with learning or problem solving and is not multiple choice. It deals exclusively with reaction time and accuracy. The pro game is fast and if you have problems seeing, recognizing, and reacting you will struggle.

Edit: Actually the test is the "S2". Had a brain fart.

I watched. Tank Dell looks like I expected. He’s super talented. Jordan Addison looked good as well. I like the Texans future. I think Stroud will have a better showing next go around, but they have to get that offensive line together. Glad football is back. JSN looked good for Seattle too. Seattle has some nice pieces on defense, but that run defense still weak.

I'd still be very concerned about that S2 score for Stroud. He claimed that his score was so low because he doesn't like tests. That statement alone gives me as much pause as the score itself. I understand the test is given using a game controller basically. It's all about physical and mental reaction time and accuracy. Bryce Young scored extremely high, as did Haener. So did Brees when he took the test.

I’m really high on Stroud and the Texans in general honestly.
