    Some team actually asked Shaq Lawson this question...

    how he would kill someone. And this question was asked during the combine.

    Though the team who asked it was not named, I sincerely hope that the idiot who DID ask it is no longer employed by that team.

    Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson is thrilled that the pre-draft process is over.Lawson was selected 19th overall on Thursday out of Clemson by the Bills and figures to be an important part of the team's pass rush.During the NFL Scouting Combine, an unnamed team asked Lawson about what method he'd use to kill someone, a question that certainly threw him off guard."I was just like, I don't know,' Lawson said of the question to ESPN's Mike Rodak. "I can't remember what I said but I just sat there for a minute and was like why would I want to kill somebody?"It's not the first ludicrous scenario to come out of the vetting process this year, with an unnamed scout alleging that Eli Apple couldn't cook, a claim that was laughed at and refuted across the board. Apple was selected 10th overall by the New York Giants.Although he was alienated by the unknown team, Lawson felt at the ease with the Bills from the very beginning."I felt I had a great vibe when I went into the room," Lawson said. "I felt very comfortable when I met those guys at the combine and just talking about football and what I can bring to the table and to the team."
    John Hemingway(facing certain death): I want to see Buffalo win the Super Bowl.
    David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.

    Probably the Falcons...they've made the news before with stupid questions at the combine.

      Everyone knows the answer to that is "plastic spork".

        His answer should have been "I'd kill softly with my song"

          I would have gone with "Let's find out..." myself.

            Teams ask these types of questions to see how prospects respond to a whacky curve ball under intense scrutiny.

            Can they handle a deeply offensive and personal question without getting emotional?

                  Can anyone ? Should you have to ? I've found in my life, you can get deep under anyone's skin in less than a minute if you just pay attention to them. It has no practical application even if you figure some snap in 15 seconds, some take 45.

                    Yes it's very valuable to be cool calm and collected under immense pressure. History is full of people who overreact to the slightest slight and paid for it. It's also full of people who were stoic even under the heaviest of pressure.

                        Remember the chorus of people whining when Cam Newton stomped out of his press conference after the Super Bowl? This is why they ask those type of questions.

                          Yeah, but he got them to the Super Bowl. Tyrod was cool as ice, never rattled and well, we didn't get to the playoffs.

                          So my question would be, "So what ?"

                              You severely underestimate how much teams want to avoid bad PR these days.
