#UNC QB Sam Howell was asked if he’s had any strange questions from teams. No strange questions, but said the Eagles had him shoot a basketball on a mini hoop.

The Eagles are a team built on core principles and competition, with head coach Nick Sirianni using anything to gauge your spirit.
Last spring when he was hired, Philadelphia’s new head coach referenced playing games like rock, paper, scissors to determine just how competitive a player or top draft prospect truly is.
One year later and that competitive edge is still burning strong, with the Eagles head coach using mini-basketball hoops to gauge how Sam Howell and other draft prospects handle the competition.
Philadelphia has three first-round picks in April’s NFL draft, and as Howie Roseman mentioned on Tuesday, the Eagles can’t afford to waste resources or picks.
