Above, we see UCF quarterback Blake Bortles recounting how teams asked if his quasi famous girlfriend, Lindsey Duke, would come to dinner with them. Here’s just a sampling of the questions, you’ll have to head on over to Extra Mustard for the FULL POST HERE.

1.

Question from the Cleveland Browns:

“How many different things can you think of that you can do with a paper clip?”

2.

Question: What animal would you describe yourself as?

Alabama wide receiver Kevin Norwood gave the answer of:

“I never even thought about it before. I sat there for at least two minutes thinking like, ‘OK, I’m dependable. I’m a silent killer.’ So the closest thing I thought of was a snake, a python. Nobody hears it coming but when it comes it’s going to kill you.”
