Here's how cutting-edge cognitive tests are influencing Houston Texans, NFL Draft

A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

The process of drafting a quarterback has become more sophisticated as the years have gone by. Watching the game film and doing interviews are still an important part of the process.

But cognitive tests by NFL teams have almost replaced the importance of the Wonderlic, according to some evaluators. Either way, these test have become a big piece of the puzzle for many NFL teams. In fact, quarterbacks that have performed well on the S2 have seen success in the NFL. Joe Burrow and Josh Allen are two examples.

The S2 Cognition test has been the topic of many draft conversations recently. This test is designed to gauge a person's data processing rate. Texans GM Nick Caserio was asked this week if the team subscribes to S2's Cognition test. Caseiro said the team does not use S2, but they do use cognition tests as part of their evaluation process.

With this is mind, some S2 results for the top QB prospects have been revealed on the internet.
