NFL teams want to know everything they can about a prospect before using a draft pick on one. Most of the information they gather on a player will come from the NFL Scouting Combine, which has become a television event over the last decade.

While some of the drills can make for good television, the most interesting stuff takes place behind closed doors. I’m talking about the team’s interviews with individual prospects, where anything and everything can be asked.

Former NFL defensive lineman Austen Lane revealed on Twitter the type of questions teams ask prospects:

This is what happens when football coaches try to play psychologist. We start getting questions that have nothing to do with football and the coaches are offended when a prospect refuses to answer, as Cam Newton did in the run-up to the 2011 NFL draft, via ESPN.com:

“During an interview with a team psychologist of an AFC North team at the combine, Newton was asked whether he sees himself more as a cat or a dog. When he suggested that the question was not relevant and that he saw himself more as a human being, he was immediately asked whether he had a problem with authority.”

Not all of the questions are as invasive or insulting as what Lane was subjected to.

Patriots safety Devin McCourty was asked what superpower he’d want. Bengals tackle Geno Atkins was asked if he preferred McDonalds or Burger King. Prospects have been asked about their choices while playing video games:

While those questions are a little more playful, it’s not too crazy to think some draft-day decisions have been based on whether a player prefers a Whopper or a Big Mac. Otherwise, what’s the point of asking?
