Unique Scouting Combine Questions for the Packers
With the NFL scouting combine in full swing, a number of strange but true questions have surfaced. One includes asking players if they find their mom attractive.
Many companies try to use oddball questions to test a candidates' critical thinking skills and ability to think on their feet - though I'm not sure it applies all that well to professional football.
Of course, every team is looking for an edge in evaluation...and that's why the Green Bay Packers decided to interview their own players to examine their thought processes.
Below are the top 10 questions that emerged from these brief interrogations.
