RELATED:Falcons issue apology for asking incredibly personal question at NFL Combine
NFL teams are already coming under fire for asking draft prospects a litany of dumb questions. The one asked to defensive back Jalen Mills is just the latest in a growing list of "why would you ask that" questions.
Speaking to Ryan Wilson of CBSSports.com, Mills said one team asked him if he would use a gun or knife to kill someone.
While Mills didn't say which team asked the question, Mills said he figured his answer would determine his grade with the team: "If you choose the knife, you know, now you're killing for fun...because you have to continuously stab somebody with it."
That's a little too well-thought out and dark. This isn't the first time this question has been asked either, according to Austen Lane, who Jacksonville drafted in 2010. Lane tweeted in February that he was asked the same question:

Since no team was named, we won't get any apologies for the question in question, but if this is any indication, teams are willing to ask a prospect anything.
