INDIANAPOLIS — A Combine cliché might be going out of style.

The oddball question has become endangered. Nearly all of the prospects who took the podium in Indianapolis this week said they hadn’t been thrown any 12-to-6 curveballs this week at all, and the few examples any player offered fell short of earth-shaking.

Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat was asked if he’d rather win the Super Bowl or be the Super Bowl MVP, something of a trick question since only one player has won the Super Bowl MVP in a losing cause.
