At the NFL Combine, also known as a four-day-long job interview for the nation's elite college football players, prospects get measured, timed and absolutely grilled during interviews.
As evidenced by this question, it seems that no query, if any, is off the table:
Strangest interview question I've heard a NFL team ask a prospect so far: Do you find your mother attractive? #NFLCombine

In a funny series of tweets posted Tuesday, former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Austen Lane said a scout asked him that same question at the 2010 NFL Combine. Perhaps it's a common question or maybe it's getting repurposed now after word spread of Lane's reveal.

Now that you've had a minute to contemplate the Oedipus Complex question, which players ought to be prepared for at this point, how the heck would you answer that?! Is there any correct answer?
