Imagine walking into a job interview and having someone ask, “If you wanted to kill a guy, would you kill him with a gun or a knife?” What would you say?
You would most likely say, “BYE,” while you were running out the door. But unfortunately, NFL Draft prospects don’t really have that option. They're routinely asked ridiculous questions during the interview process—Ohio State cornerback Eli Applewas asked if he likes men—and to a degree, they’re forced to answer them (because what will the teams think if they don’t?!). So when LSU safety Jalen Mills was asked whether he would murder someone with a gun or a knife recently, he had to answer.
He talked about the experience during a recent interview with CBS Sports and indicated that he chose the gun. It’s a good thing he did, too, because apparently, that’s the answer the NFL team that asked him the question was looking for.
“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 a gun is quick.”
Uhhhhhhh…OK? Or how about neither? Is that an acceptable answer, too?
