Weird questions asked at the NFL scouting combine by teams in an effort to gain added insight into prospects is nothing novel.
But this question-answer combo may set the new standard.
Trevon Hill, a defensive end who played at Virginia Tech before a graduate transfer season at Miami (Florida), told reporters Thursday the weirdest question a team asked him during his interview process was whether he’d wash a veteran player’s car on a weekly basis throughout his rookie season.
“Hell no,” Hill said he answered.
Playful rookie hazing is hardly uncommon among NFL teams. Don’t expect Hill to grab a bucket and sponge, though.
Hill played the first four seasons of his career with the Hokies prior to being dismissed for arguing with a coach during an September 201 loss. In his final season of eligibility of the Hurricanes, Hill racked up 4.5 sacks.
