NFL teams always subject incoming rookies to odd questions and challenges during the NFL Scouting Combine, but one tactic by the Seattle Seahawks this year is a real head-scratcher.
According to NFL.com's Chase Goodbread, Kentucky Wildcats cornerback Lonnie Johnson said the Seahawks made him complete a staring contest during their formal interview. Johnson won after keeping his eyes open for "15, 16 seconds."
Maybe Seattle really believes that adage that eyes are the windows to the soul. Otherwise, it's hard to see what anybody would gain by conducting a staring contest with a draft prospect.
