One Adam Klein lifted Erlang's legs, and the whole person pressed heavily on the back of the seat. The plastic seats on the stadium were pushed back, making a "squeak" groan / groan, seemingly suffering huge pain; Sitting on his left hand was a gray-haired old man, who looked about sixty-five years old, with a chubby face, a chubby beer belly, and a good eyebrow.

The two were talking in a low voice at this time, and from time to time they gently closed their jaws, revealing a meaningful look.

Black Simmons hung up the phone in his hand, put the phone in his pocket, but did not venture forward to disturb, waited for a while, after seeing the old white-haired man leave, Black went up, Adam sat down next to him and looked at the back that had just left. "How did Wade-Philips come? Which defensive player is he interested in? JJ Watt? Or von Miller?"

The white-haired old man was Wade Phillips. From 2007 to 2010, he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys; this year he officially became the defensive coach of the Houston Texans. This is a 40-year-old coach in the league. Coach, training defensive team is his special skill.

Adam lifted his jaw and proudly sold a pass, "What do you think?"

It was n’t JJ Watt and von Miller. Black ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He seriously looked at Adam and unexpectedly did not answer. Instead, he leaned against the back of the chair and looked at the center of the court. The rookies in the next test, "I just received a phone call, you absolutely can't guess who it is." Black said to each other with a smile, smilingly, but he did not sell it, but directly gave The answer, "Mike-Shula of the Carolina Panthers."

"They are crazy?" This was Adam's first reaction.

Mike Sura, he is a quarterback coach, has been in the Jacksonville Jaguars for the past three years, this year just switched to the Carolina Panthers.

It is worth mentioning that the Carolina Panthers have the pick of this year's No. 1 pick and their quarterback Jimmy-Clausen is a complete disaster. Almost everyone predicted that they would choose a quarterback. Obviously, Cam Newton was always the number one choice.

Now at this moment, Mike started to call the scouts, and it was still Black, the meaning is naturally self-evident-Lu Ke.

"It's just a Vendrick test, is everyone crazy?" Adam shook his head helplessly without concealing his surprise and consternation: give up Cam and choose Lu Ke? Even if it was only for consideration and temptation, Adam still felt that the Carolina Panthers were crazy.

Black smiled, "So, Wade Phillips also came for the eleventh?"

UCLA Browns rookie quarterback Lu Ke, after yesterday ’s basic test, quickly became the hottest name, especially since no one had heard of the name before, the dramatic effect is more obvious So that everyone couldn't help but start talking, trying to hear more news.

Lu Ke, this is the name of the eleventh. In just one day, almost everyone knew it. After a night of fermentation, it became more and more fierce. But Black and Adam are still habitually called "Eleventh", it seems that this name still has the miracle of the night with the rose bowl.

Adam did not continue to take Joe this time, shrugging, "He came over and asked for the names of several defensive players, but yes, he did inquire about the situation on the eleventh."

Obviously, the Houston Texans do not want to let people know that they are inquiring about the news of the quarterback, so they sent Wade, the team's defensive team coach, to borrow the name, make smoke bombs, and hide the true purpose.

"Texans first, then Black Panthers. I just heard that Brown and Bill are also inquiring about it." Black said the latest news he had just received, turned his head to look at Adam, and he didn't need to say much. Having made the meaning clear enough, Adam spread his hands and expressed a helpless expression, "The dolphin seems to be looking around."

Quarterback, this is always the most sought-after and important position for each team. Having a top quarterback means that the team can build the whole quarterback around the next ten years. Team; even the team where the elite quarterback is located, they will consider the situation of replacing the quarterback, to avoid injuries, avoid age, avoid falling in status, and so on.

Especially in the past half century, the league has gradually changed the rules on the court for safety protection and game viewing, and weakened the power of the running back. The NFL has gradually entered the passing era, and the status and role of the quarterback is even more As the water rose, the offensive core gradually fell on the quarterback's shoulders.

So, in every year's draft, the quarterback is the most high-profile position. In the history of the draft, quarterbacks have become the top picks most frequently, 31 times in total; and the second is the running back, a total of 23 times before and after becoming the top pick.

This year is no exception. At least half of the teams that need quarterbacks are even more. There are twenty-one quarterbacks in the training camp. They will make a full evaluation and then decide the draft choice. Now, uncertainties have emerged, and almost every team has started to stir up.

Von Derrick tested the perfect score, which is indeed an irresistible temptation. Variables appeared on the first day of the training camp, and the teams began to commotion.

Blake seriously looked at Adam's expression seriously, "Your expression doesn't seem to agree, what's wrong? I thought it was a good thing, haven't you been paying attention to the situation on the 11th today?"

"I just think they will be disappointed." Adam said sincerely, with a little worry in his tone. As a senior scout, he deeply knows how cruel this league is, and he also sincerely expects those talents and talents Players can have a bright future, "Those teams just follow suit. Look at the old foxes, patriots, ponies, packers, which acted rashly? If they voted because of Von Derrick's full score Attention to sight, then they are destined to be disappointed. You look at the results of the forty yards on the 11th ... "

The following words did not go on, but Blake immediately understood: the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. On the 11th, there is no foundation at all. Under the coquettish pursuit, if the next training camp test is not satisfactory, it will soon fall out of the vision of each team, and then want to rise again, this It's even harder.

Today is the second day of training camp, the first thing is to test the sprint forty yards. This is somewhat similar to the 100-meter race in the Olympic track and field. The pure speed and the outbreak of competition are the most exciting events.

The same is true of the forty yard sprint of football. Every rookie will take part in this test to test the player's speed, strength, explosiveness and some physical training. The whole test will also set timing points at ten and twenty yards to test the explosive power of the players. Ten-yard, twenty-yard, and forty-yard test data have different meanings for players in different positions.

For example, the ten-yard timing is particularly important for the offensive and defensive lines, because in the official game, they rarely run more than ten yards, and the explosiveness of starting speed is the key.

The current 40-yard record in the league was created by Chris Johnson in 2008, 4.24 seconds.

4.89 seconds, this is Lu Ke's forty yard result.

For the quarterback, the forty yard score is not the most important, but it is a manifestation of physical fitness. The overall average score of the quarterback is 4.87 seconds, but Lu Ke ’s score is not even the average. Reached, not to mention compared with this year's top pick Came Newton, the latter's 4.59 second result is relatively horrible relative to his size, almost the level of a bulldozer.

Black sat upright and said seriously, "However, speed and strength are not the strengths of the eleventh. If you test the 20-yard turn and run around the three cones, his performance will definitely be even better. More importantly, The strength of the eleventh is not physical fitness, but the grasp of the situation on the court, the reading of the defense and the accuracy of the pass. This is the most important quality! "

Adam glanced at Black. "But, no one can see this information."

Black couldn't help but choke, even for these scouts, the data is only the video of two games, to be precise, fifteen minutes plus two minutes of video of the game time, plus all the pause time, the time is not enough Half an hour.

Now, Black finally understands Adam's meaning-Adam is still worried about the 11th, after all, he hopes to be able to evaluate the 11th in a more comprehensive and in-depth manner, instead of being reduced to the circus under the hype and aura Clown.

The full score tested by Von Derrick. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Black couldn't help but sigh heavily. "Tomorrow, let's look at it tomorrow." Tomorrow is a special test conducted by each location separately, showing the talents, skills and abilities of where they belong.

As expected by Adam, Lu Ke ’s attention only boiled for a day, and then fell silent. The aura of von Derek ’s test scores disappeared after the second day of the test. Overnight, there was no time to completely degenerate into The swan's ugly duckling has returned to its origin again.

The test consisted of seven items, forty yard sprint, 225 lb (102 kg) bench press, vertical jump, high jump, standing long jump, forty yard return run, sixty yard return run, and three cones.

Of the seven items, players do not have to participate in all events. For example, quarterbacks and wide receivers do not need to participate in bench presses, but offensive and defensive fronts must participate; for example, a sixty yard return run is required for wide receivers. The project, but there is no hard requirement for other positions, quarterbacks can also choose to participate according to their own abilities.

In the end, Lu Ke's results were not really impressive, and even the average level was still a little worse, which was disappointing.
