Now just where is the magic employee's have taken the test from all fields and a football league would like for you to think they are holding some grand party of smart guy's only invited ,the test simply gives some profile of the person testing it doesn't mean much after that many sub testing have been conducted over the years and nothing suggest the test can give you results on who will be a great football player the talent on the field will speak to that.One thing about sports when equal talent is on a field of play it shows itself verses lesser talent. A great talent is a great talent and can only be shown up by greater talent you've heard the TV announcer repeat what some coach has spoken before well that guy he's a beast that is until he hit's the field with equal talent The pro league has many good players but their are only seven blue chip players on each team the teams who have less are your consistent bottom feeders.
