Talk about awkward and inappropriate. The Atlanta Falcons asked Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple at the NFL scouting combine does he 'like men.' That's an illegal question and the Falcons have apologized. "The Falcons coach, one of the coaches, was like, 'So do you like men?' It was like the first thing he asked me," Apple said. "It was weird. I was just like, 'no.' He was like, 'if you're going to come to Atlanta, sometimes that's how it is around here, you're going to have to get used to it.' I guess he was joking but they just ask most of these questions to see how you're going to react." Atlanta coach Dan Quinn quickly apologized through a statement Friday. "I am really disappointed in the question that was asked by one of our coaches," Quinn said. "I have spoken to the coach that interviewed Eli Apple and explained to him how inappropriate and unprofessional this was. I have reiterated this to the entire coaching staff and I want to apologize to Eli for this even coming up. This is not what the Atlanta Falcons are about and it is not how we are going to conduct ourselves." Follow me on Twitter: @AaronWilson_NFL Aaron Wilson covers the Texans for The Houston Chronicle.
