Athletes First, a prominent sports agency, has advised its NFL draft prospects to avoid participating in cognitive or psychological testing during the pre-draft process, including the S2 test. This decision was informed to all 32 NFL teams and is seen as a direct response to the leak of Texans QB CJ Stroud's S2 cognitive test scores last spring. Stroud, who has publicly stated, "I'm not a test taker, I play football," was involved in a controversy following the leak, which led to varied reactions from the public. The agency's move underscores concerns about privacy and the relevance of such tests to athletic performance.
