Could it be that the S2 could be an indicator  of not just success  but, more importantly, of a lack of success? 

My understanding is the S2 is an indicator that someone has the cognitive tools for success.

It can’t predict success because a guy also has to have athletic ability, drive, work ethic, etc. It’s rumored Fields is missing some of these.

However, without the right cognitive tools, you have no chance.

It is a performance based test that measures processing speed.  So yes, it is cognitive in that it involves split second decisions the way I understand it.

I guess thats whst I was getting at. It can help point to who has what it takes to succeed, but also who, cognitively, is going  to struggle  the most. 

Most of what I've seen is that those who do well have higher scores. Those who struggle the most have lower scores. I just am surprised that CJ is supposed  to have a lower score.

It measures a lot more than processing speed. 

It has 9 parts.

Another key part of the test is measuring how many objects you can keep track of at once. Think WR and defenders running around.

If you can process fast but can’t keep track of where everyone is on the field, you won’t be very good.

I'd probably start with looking at their website if I was really interested in learning about it.
