New Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson was asked a bizarre question at the NFL combine.
In the weeks and months leading up to the NFL Draft, the combine is held for teams to evaluate incoming players. They work them out, test them on certain things and maybe ask them a question or two. These factors are used for players either climbing up the draft boards or falling down, which is what happened to some on Thursday.
In the past, there have been some bizarre questions asked to the players. This could range from their sexuality, to if they have people skills or about their family life.
Well, new Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson revealed a strange question he was asked during his combine experience. Apparently, one unknown team asked how he would kill someone.

I don’t think asking a player who’s about to enter the NFL how they would kill someone translates to on-field play. A relevant question may be what techniques Lawson learned in college to rush the quarterback, if he enjoyed Clemson, or even if he would ever be willing to play another position.
There were probably other bizarre questions asked during the NFL combine. This has gone on for years and is at the point where the odd things going on during the draft process is normal.
