Punter Michael Dickson Asked to Have Staring Contest by Seahawks at NFL Combine

If Texas punter Michael Dickson ever has to stare down an incoming defensive lineman while attempting a punt, he'll be ready.

According to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, Dickson said the Seattle Seahawks had him participate in a staring contest during a 15-minute interview at the NFL Scouting Combine.

"I had to see how long I could stare without blinking," Dickson said. "I had a couple of attempts. I tried a few techniques, looking away from the light, trying to block any sort of wind coming into the eyes. That was a weird process.
