As the NFL draft approaches and future professional footballer players are scrutinized in their pursuit of landing a contract in the league, the questioning these men undergo is becoming increasingly worrying.
Most recently, NFL prospect Jalen Mills told CBS Sports that he was asked whether he would choose a knife or a gun as a weapon if he chose to kill someone.
Mills said, "How they grade it is, if you choose the knife, you know, now you're killing for fun because you have to continuously stab someone but the gun is kind of quick."
When the Dallas Cowboys wide-receiver was entering the league out of college, then-Miami Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland asked him if his mother was a prostitute. Another prospect this year was asked if he found his mother attractive.
