Former Ohio State standout C.J. Stroud is widely regarded as one the top prospects heading into this week's NFL Draft.

Teams throughout the league used to routinely use the Wonderlic Test to assess the competence in decision-making of NFL prospects. That test was recently replaced with a new test called the S2 Cognition Test.

Stroud had a score of 18%, which was the lowest of all the top quarterback prospects. According to The Athletic, Bryce Young scored the highest at 98%.

Former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis reportedly had a score of 93%, while Florida's Anthony Richardson's score came in a 79%.

On Wednesday, Stroud responded to questions about the concerns surrounding his test results. 

"I'm a football player. ... I'm not a test taker," Stroud said after the NFL Play Football clinic.

NFL Network reported that Stroud took the S2 Cognitive Test multiple times but failed to post a high score in any of his attempts.

Stroud attempted to downplay the test scores by indicating the results were not a reflection of who he is as a person or a football player.
