Purdy's score placed him first among quarterbacks in last year's draft.

Ally emphasized the test's predictive nature, stating that Purdy's exceptional score indicates the game will never be too fast for him.

The test assessed Purdy's spatial awareness, distraction control, and depth perception speed, highlighting his ability to assess defenses, stay focused under pressure, and make quick decisions.

These cognitive strengths align with those of top-tier quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow.

Daniel Jeremiah accidentally leaked that Bryce Young scored highest in class on the S2 Cognition test.

Although the exact score was not disclosed for privacy reasons, Purdy's impressive results help position him as a promising talent in the NFL.

His stellar rookie season and the endorsement of his veteran teammates, George Kittle and Nick Bosa, further solidify his status as the 49ers' starting quarterback. While his limited starts may raise questions for some, Purdy's football IQ compensates for any perceived physical limitations.
