Want to be drafted by the Seahawks? First you have to win a staring contest, at least according to this punter

INDIANAPOLIS — Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Friday the team is going to “get after it in every nook and cranny we can’’ to get back to being a playoff team after 2017’s stumble.

That apparently includes asking at least one player at the NFL Combine to fulfill an unusual request — participate in a staring contest.

Texas punter Michael Dickson revealed the staring contest during his official media session Friday when asked what was the strangest thing a team had asked him during one of his interviews.

“I mean I had to do a staring contest and I had to see how long I could stare without blinking,’’ Dickson said.
