NFL team asked prospect whether he'd use knife or gun to kill

NFL prospects get asked some strange questions leading up to the draft.
LSU safety Jalen Mills, a projected second- or third-round pick, shared one of the more uncomfortable questions he was asked during the interview process in a video for CBS Sports.
"One question was, 'If you wanted to kill a guy, would you kill him with a gun or a knife?'" Mills said.
Mills didn't reveal which team asked him the question, but did explain how it was graded.
"How they grade it is, if you choose the knife, now you're killing for fun, because you have to continuously stab somebody," he said. "But the gun is kind of quick."
Retired defensive end Austen Lane said he was asked the exact same question at the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine.
