Prospect: NFL Team Asked Me If I Would Use 'A Gun Or A Knife' To Kill Someone

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- An NFL prospect reveals he was asked by a team what weapon would he use to kill someone.

"One question was like, if you wanted to kill a guy, would you kill him with a gun or a knife?" former LSU safety Jalen Mills told CBS Sports.

Mills continued, "How they grade it is if you choose the knife, now you're killing for fun, because you have to continuously stab somebody, but the gun is quick."

This is one of several off-the-wall questions NFL evaluators have asked prospects.

Earlier this month, former Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple said an Atlanta Falcons coach -- later identified as Marquand Manuel – asked him if he liked men.

"The Falcons coach, one of the coaches, was like, 'So do you like men?' It was like the first thing he asked me. It was weird. I was just like, 'No.' He was like, 'If you're going to come to Atlanta, sometimes that's how it is around here, you're going to have to get used to it.' I guess he was joking but they just ask most of these questions to see how you're going to react," Apple told Comcast SportsNet.

Marquand issued an apology.

Following that revelation, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman wrote a letter to the NFL, saying he was "deeply concerned" a coach would ask a prospect that question.

"I write today with serious concerns regarding the persistence of conduct at League-affiliated recruiting events that may violate New  York State law concerning sexual orientation discrimination, and specifically regarding reports of an incident at this year's Scouting Combine that appears nearly identical to the incident which triggered my office's initial inquiry to the League (in 2013)," Schneiderman wrote.

CBS Sports reports Mills is considered a second- or third-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
