The NFL Combine is an interesting event. Last year Jeff Riger and myself attended the event and we were blown away by the amount of media that was in attendance.
Just about every NFL GM and head coach talks for a few minutes each.
NFL GMs and coaches get a chance to talk to the college prospects before they are drafted and some off-the-wall questions are asked of the players.
Former Detroit Lions' DE Austen Lane sent out a series of tweets Tuesday about the odd questions that are asked of the players during the combine.

Lane spent just one season with the Lions (2013) and played in just two games.
Just imagine your employer asking these questions. How would you reply?
