Chapter 178 Xiao Li explores the beauty


Chapter 178 Xiao Li’s search for flowers
Roger Goodell opened the envelope, took out the card, and glanced at the name on it. His calm eyes inadvertently revealed a light, a fleeting satisfaction. hidden in the ground——

The door to the Huaxia Market has finally been opened. This is a historical moment.

However, he remained under the surface, remained steady, and continued to complete his work.

"... Levi, running back, University of Alabama."

Witness, history.

This is the first time since University of Alabama running back Trent Richardson in 2012 that a running back has been selected with the top three picks in the first round. It has been five years. It has been a long time coming.

This is the first Chinese-American player to be selected in the first round in NFL history. Even if all Asian players are included, he is also the first to make history.

This is the first college freshman in NFL history to be selected in the first round - although Levi is a junior, he really only has one year in terms of on-field resume.

Levi, a player destined to write history, every step is destined to be filled with firsts, and every move is creating a new history.

The little green room was filled with excitement.

Watson froze in place as if struck by lightning, unable to move at all. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was shocked that he was ignored by the Chicago Bears and Kansas Chiefs in succession, or that Levi was ranked higher than him in the draft. , the brain completely loses its ability to respond.

Staring blankly at the Crimson Tide Storm players who swarmed up and slapped Levi on the shoulders, Watson seemed to have returned to Tampa Bay in early January, with that nightmarish night hanging on his head like a curse.

Levi:?
He didn’t react, he wasn’t humble, he honestly didn’t expect it. From Shaban to Henry to Donald, he, a layman, gradually gained a clear understanding of the reality of the league. He was not depressed and there was no need to be depressed. Getting into the right position and then taking the challenge one step at a time is enough, as are the expectations for the draft.

No matter what pick or round, as long as he can enter the professional league, he is ready to meet the challenge.

Levi didn't expect that his name would be called out so early. What about the depreciation of the promised running back? What the hell is going on?

Before he could react, Levi was drowned in cheers.

Mahomes was the closest to Levi and was the first to jump up and give Levi a hug, "Congratulations! God, you deserve it. You definitely deserve it!"

"Ah, ah! You are the third flower, brother, and you are the third flower this year."

The excitement and excitement were even crazier than Levi's, until Levi was pulled out of the crowd by Donald, and they had to go on stage to receive their jerseys. Mahomes looked around and realized that he was surrounded by a red tide storm——

What's going on?

Humphrey shouted at the top of his lungs, "Levi, you are the most handsome rookie in the room!"

When Mahomes turned around, he finally found McCaffrey, who was equally excited and excited and rushed over. The two of them didn't care that they were trapped in the wolf pack. They raised their arms and shouted, "Rookie! Rookie! Rookie!"

Then, all the Kansas City Chiefs fans in the stands went crazy. One or two of them started shouting, and the heat wave filled the air.

In front of the TV screen, Vicki crossed his arms and watched the scene quietly, "Coach, what do you think?"

Reed was still chewing gum slowly, "We made the right choice."

In fact, until the last moment, Vicky was still swaying.

The Chicago Bears were very anxious and anxious. Pace's immaturity inadvertently exposed their trump card. When Veach saw through the Chicago Bears' intention to choose Trubisky, the initiative had already come to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Vicki also has his own plans.

If they don't choose a quarterback, then they can maximize the benefits of the lottery and reduce the impact of the salary cap, giving the running back a reasonable price, so that the Kansas Chiefs can regain their advantageous position.

Vicky's only doubt is, Levi, is it worth it?
Vicky couldn't help but think of the video clips that Reid watched repeatedly; then switched to the live broadcast, all the other rookies seemed silent and stiff, and they were still nervous even if they tried their best to control it. The only exception was Levi, who was actually playing games.

Perhaps, you can also add Mahomes who can't sit still like a flea.

So, the answer came out.

Veach accepted the trade and took the opportunity to blackmail the Chicago Bears:
The third round of the first round in 2017, the first round in 2018 and the first round in 2019.

Take advantage of the situation!

Veach immediately made up for the losses in the trade between the Kansas Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Selecting Levi with the third overall pick was more like an extra reward. There was no need for hesitation or hesitation. They submitted the list immediately.

This is an adventure, but Veitch believes that creating history and writing legends often requires such risks. With the mentality of failure or success, one throws all the means, and the mentality of looking forward and backward is destined to fail to achieve greatness.

then.

History was born in this way, in the most gorgeous, exciting and dramatic way.

Before Trubisky had time to enjoy his own topic and applause, he turned around and was reduced to a backdrop, and all the flashlights in the audience rushed towards Levi——

All doubts, speculations, and worries can be put to rest for the time being. Levi did not fall out of the first round, but was suddenly selected by the Kansas City Chiefs as a dark horse with the third overall pick.

With the third overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, the decision was made.

Buzz, buzz buzz.

The applause roared, mixed with whistles and screams, and the cheers couldn't stop. Following the NCAA, a door to a whole new world opened in front of Levi.

Slowly, the real feeling became clearer bit by bit, and the high morale began to surge in the chest. Finally, I set foot on a higher level stage. So what challenges are waiting for me?
A little impatient.

Ahead, Kansas Chiefs CEO Clark-Hunt was waiting with a smile on his face, holding up a red No. 1 jersey.

"Welcome to the Kansas City Chiefs."

Hunter seemed in high spirits, although it was a bit regretful that the team did not choose a quarterback; but as soon as the draft list was announced, Goodell came to shake hands and congratulate him immediately, which made Hunter react immediately:
Levi's market value.

Not to mention anything else, the support and preference from the league is already foreseeable, which is undoubtedly good news for the Kansas City Chiefs, who are not at the top of the market.

Listen, you don’t even need to go back to Kansas City, it’s enough right now.

"Rookie! Rookie! Rookie!"

The shouts of the Kansas City Chiefs fans were completely drowned out by the mighty shouts of the audience. The lively melon-eating crowd was also "welcoming" Levi to the NFL in this way, and the attention and discussion went straight to the sky.

When did the Kansas Chiefs get such treatment?
This is the first time this has happened.

Looking at Levi in ​​front of him, Hunter seemed to be surveying the vast Chinese market, exuding a kind of joy from the inside out, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Levi first took the hat from Hunter and put it on. He looked at the familiar red jersey in his hand, which has continued all the way from the Crimson Tide Storm to the Chiefs. The smile in his eyes quietly brightened. He and Hunter each held a corner of the jersey and took a photo side by side. , flash lights surged down from the audience.

The entire Philadelphia Museum of Art turned into a sea of ​​boiling red, but the Jacksonville Jaguar War Room was filled with icy wind.

Caldwell: Damn!

Thanks to uncle Zhang Sirui and Fat Mantou for the reward!
