The inexact science of evaluating draft prospects has a new tool that is replacing the well-known Wonderlic Test.

Jake Haener never thought of himself as an ace test-taker, but nothing about answering questions on the S2 Cognition Test reminded him of school.

The S2 Cognition Test advertises an evaluation of how athletes “process and make split-second decisions” specific to their sport.

Test-takers are seated at a specialized computer with headphones and a modified keyboard for about 30-45 minutes. About 4,000 professional football players have participated since about 2016, Ally said, so Haener’s score means he performed in the 97th percentile relative to others in the database.Getty Images

The tests used have existed in science labs for decades but were repurposed for sports by Ally and co-founder Scott Wylie, who began development at LSU, expanded to include the New Orleans Saints and then to one team in each NFL division.
