The NFL Combine is notorious for weird stories, where GM's an scouts ask players strange questions or to do odd things, just to see what kind of response they'll get. This may take the cake however...
Kutztown guard, Justin Morgan says...
And then, of course, was the actual staring contest one NFL team put Morgan through during his interviews. For all the tall tales of strange or invasive questions at the combine, that was as weird as it got for Morgan, he said.
“They were just getting to know me and what I knew about football,” Morgan said. “The strangest thing I had asked of me at the combine was how long I could have my eyes open in a staring contest. I thought it was weird, but it’s one of those things you don’t question on the spot.
“I didn’t blink at all. He told me I could stare at anything. I just focused on a water bottle. I don’t know how long it was, but it was pretty long. My eyes were fogging up. I couldn’t see after. He was just like, ‘I got what I need. You can stop now.'”
