In the latest example of an NFL team representative improperly asking a prospective NFL player about his sexual orientation, Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple revealed on Friday that an Atlanta Falcons coach asked him, “So do you like men?” The question was posed during last month’s NFL combine in Indianapolis. Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, on behalf of his coaching staff, has apologized to Apple, who is a projected first-round pick in next month’s draft. This situation is reminiscent of University of Colorado tight end Nick Kasa being asked if he “likes girls” prior to the 2010 NFL draft and of players complaining of similar types of questions leading up to the 2013 NFL draft.
