There is a short discussions in the article about positions other than QB and the successes there, too.
Interesting stuff. I wonder if the Purdy thing is going to have more GMs taking the test score more seriously.

It's a copycat league, I'll be shocked if we don't hear a ton about it as the "Brock Purdy Test" more or less.
If you told me that a prospect had a high score in "being able to figure out what the fuck is going on" then I'd be super-interested, as that is clearly a huge missing piece when we measure arm strength and the other combine numbers. For QB most obviously, but maybe even for other positions like off-ball LB and S.
