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.

Identifying moving objects on a computer screen and needing to quickly shake off a mistake felt more like skills he has honed on the football field — and maybe that’s why the former Fresno State quarterback suddenly looks like a top student when it comes to the test becoming a bigger part of NFL Draft evaluations.

With the draft set for April 27-29, teams currently are reviewing every tidbit in hundreds of detailed prospect profiles to help make razor-thin separations and finalize boards.

“It’s probably the first 97 percent I’ve ever gotten in my life,” Haener quipped to Post Sports+ of his S2 Cognition Test score. “When they first told me it was going to NFL teams, I was nervous because I’ve never been good at taking long, sit-down exams. But it’s different than school. I feel like this gives you the opportunity to go with God-given ability and react. I enjoyed it.”
