Chapter 165: Both Talents and Wisdom
In just a short moment, all the noise, discussion, and bustle fell silent, and all eyes in the narrow corridor fell on Levi.
Not far away, the cornerback team was approaching in a bustling manner. The noise made the silence in front of them more and more prominent, and even the sound of breathing was cut off.
Full marks?
Full marks!
This is the second NFL player since wide receiver Pat McInally in 1975 to have a perfect score on Vondrick's test.
It's been forty-one years.
Just this news is shocking, but it lacks some impact, that is, it can add some conversation topics after dinner. After all, the Vondrik test is just a reference data. After McInally scored full marks that year, it continued until the fifth round. Just being chosen is not worth the fuss.
However, the person who received perfect scores in the Vonderrick test this time was actually a running back, a running back with "only muscles and no brains"?
this……
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The news spread throughout the Lucas Oil Arena in the blink of an eye, and all eyes were once again focused on Levi.
In fact, judging from the regular season performance, we know that Levi is not a hard-headed player, but now that he actually sees the test results, he can't help but be surprised.
Kamala lowered his head to look at his test results again. The numbers that he had been so proud of just now were now hot to the touch. He cursed secretly and was about to step forward before making a decisive decision and retreating quietly, hiding his whereabouts quickly before he was embarrassed.
As soon as he took a step forward, Kamala saw Fournette, and their eyes collided inadvertently in the air.
Fournette was a little embarrassed. He held his breath, silently shifted his gaze, and began to look at the sky. He separated himself from the noise here and transformed into a ninja.
Kamara also turned his head and looked away in recognition, looking to the other side. The cornerback team was coming towards him, and he began to count silently——
One. Two. Three...
McCaffrey, the instigator of all this, didn't notice the movement around him at all, his eyes widened and he looked up and down at the alien with curiosity on his face.
"Wow!"
"Amazing, really amazing. I just scored twenty-one points, and I was still complacent, but now it seems that I am still too narrow-minded. The real master is here."
"As expected of you."
"Strong, really strong, ah ah, so excited. I can't wait to enter the physical test. I want to see the gap between us."
There was a crackling gust of wind and rain, and McCaffrey began to gear up, his eyes ignited with high morale, like small light bulbs on deep-sea fish, staring at Levi.
As the second-place finisher in the 2015 Heisman Trophy voting, McCaffrey still performed well in the 2016 season, delivering top-level performance for the second consecutive season.
It is precisely because of this that McCaffrey, Fournette, and Levi are known as the top three running backs in the NCAA this year.
But unfortunately, Stanford University's overall performance was not good. Even in the Pac-12 Conference, it was only ranked fourth. Not to mention the National Championship Game, it was absent from all important bowl games. In the end, it was only invited to participate in an insignificant Sun Bowl. .
It is precisely because of this that after the regular season, McCaffrey announced his participation in the draft and said that he would miss the Sun Bowl and concentrate on preparing for the draft.
This move attracted polarizing reactions, with some supporting and opposing.
For McCaffrey, he is very determined and focused, ignoring those chaotic voices. He is eager to become the best running back, eager to constantly break through himself, challenge his limits and climb to the top, and eager to pursue better in the competitive arena. The self is so simple.
In McCaffrey's view, at this stage, Levi is the best running back in the NCAA, and there is no controversy. He is also one of the best players in this draft class. Currently, he is indeed not as good as Levi. But it doesn't matter, just because you can't compare now, doesn't mean you will never be able to compare in the future. He will continue to improve and progress, targeting Levi, facing off head-on, and looking forward to becoming a better running back in the future.
Clearly, McCaffrey is not alone—
No matter positive or negative, no matter conspiracy or conspiracy, no matter envy or jealousy, Levi is now the target that everyone must defeat.
Especially when Vonderrick's test set off expectations that no one expected, even teams that had no interest in running backs cast their eyes.
Next, there is the physical test, which is slightly different from games and training. The physical test comprehensively displays the players' physical fitness in specific test items.
The basic test includes seven events, the 40-yard dash, 225-pound (102 kg) bench press, vertical jump, standing long jump, 40-yard return run, 60-yard return run, and three-cone run.
Among the seven events, players are not required to participate in all events.
For example, quarterbacks and wide receivers do not need to participate in the bench press, but offensive linemen and defensive linemen are required.
For example, the sixty-yard return run is a compulsory activity for wide receivers, but there are no hard and fast rules for other positions. Running backs more often choose the twenty-yard return run.
In addition, for different positions, there are some professional projects in addition to the basic test projects. After all, in rugby, different positions face completely different situations and challenges.
In the running back group, among the first players to complete all testing projects, Fournette is undoubtedly the most widely watched. After all, his physical fitness is the most powerful weapon, and it has been proven.
However, Fournette, who has been plagued by injuries on and off this season, still has not reached his 100% condition, and his physical test results are average.
4.51 seconds for the 40 yards, 4.53 for the 20-yard dash, 7.27 for the three-cone run, 30.5 inches (77 centimeters) for the vertical jump, 2.95 meters for the standing broad jump, and 25 bench presses.
The only area where he performed well was the bench press, which ranked first among current running backs.
Originally, people speculated that Fournette, who was suffering from injuries, might not participate in all physical tests. After all, he had proven himself in the past two seasons. There was no need to force himself to drag his unhealed body through physical tests. Instead, the data might It's not good to affect your draft prospects.
But obviously, because of Levi and McCaffrey's attack, Fournette also deeply felt the crisis, and then decided to participate in the physical test.
Now that the results are out, Fournette's dark face has no expression, but he can faintly catch a hint of confusion from the focus of his broken eyes.
Then--
Wow!
There was an exclamation in the crowd. Before they had time to see the physical measurement data displayed on the big screen, the next second they saw a figure rolling continuously like a gymnast, doing cartwheels, forward somersaults, volleys, and then connecting. He flipped forward and performed dazzling acrobatics that amazed the audience.
Snap.
Landing firmly, Kamala held her head high and showed off her majestic appearance, which immediately attracted whistles, applause and cheers.
Not only gorgeous, but also arrogant.
Even the staff responsible for the physical measurement data statistics on site smiled.
Kamala raised her chin high, glanced at Fournette with bright eyes, and inadvertently revealed a touch of high spirits, but did not stop, and fell confidently on Levi——
How are you, are you ready?
Fournette didn't have time to observe Levi's reaction. He turned to look at the big screen and his expression changed:
Damn it.
Today’s fourth update.
