S2 Co-Founder Says Two Scores That Were Leaked 'Are Not Accurate'

Some pre-draft news.
In this story:

One of the big topics of conversation in recent weeks has been the results of the S2 Cognition test and how poorly Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud reportedly performed on it. Multiple reports got out that Stroud scored an 18 on the test, which was by far the worst grade of any of the quarterbacks in this year's draft class. 

However, that score may not be true. Co-founder of the S2 Cognition test, Brandon Ally, explained on The Pat McAfee Show that some of the scores that leaked out were inaccurate.

"The day that those leaks happened, my phone was blowing up from general managers and our attorney. We can't speak on specifics. What I will say is the list of scores that I have seen, two of those scores are not accurate. They're not accurate at all. Some of the reason could be for narrative purposes. The other reason is that they don't have context, so somebody could have gotten a list of very early scores. One of the particular athletes on that list I know had a difficult time making his way to the all-star game, things were delayed. He was in high demand. He was hungry, tired, it was 11 p.m., didn't want to do it. He was frustrated. We administered the test because we're asked to. We knew at that point in time, hey, we're going to get you again. We'll get you at your Pro Day, your 30 visit. We did that and his score is significantly higher than what it was being reported in the media. I'm not saying that it was C.J. Stroud. But for context purposes, the scores that were leaked, there are a couple of them that are inaccurate and there needs to be context behind that."

Could this be a tactic by a particular team to scare others off the Ohio State quarterback? Possibly. It could also just be a misinterpretation of information. Either way, it's a shame that the scores were leaked.
