We are now at one of the best times of the year when the NFL scouting combine kicks off and teams are asking prospects strange questions or having them perform offbeat tasks to see if they would be a good fit for their franchise.
The Philadelphia Eagles had UNC quarterback Sam Howell do something quite strange that has nothing to do with the career he is trying to pursue.
At the combine this morning, Howell revealed that the Eagles had him shoot mini basketballs on a miniature hoop during their meeting.
“That was probably the craziest thing I’ve had to do so far,” Howell said of his shooting session with Philadelphia, via Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus. “I only made like two out of five, so probably not high up on their board right now.”
During his three years as the Tar Heels starting quarterback, the 6-1, 220-pound Howell threw for 10,283 yards with 92 touchdowns against just 23 interceptions. He also rushed fro 828 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.
