Twenty-one.
At a glance, there were 21 people in the quarterback team, including Lu Ke himself. For the quarterback position, it is really bloated. No wonder everyone says this is a big year for the quarterback.
There are quite a few famous quarterbacks such as Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, and Jack Lock. In addition, the four quarterbacks have good abilities but mediocre reputations, and can fully serve as substitutes. Guards, another group. After seven rounds of drafting, picking and choosing, it is estimated that only half of them will be able to enter the professional league, and the remaining half will be eliminated. The competition is fierce beyond imagination.
While looking around, I immediately spotted Scott Tolsin standing in the crowd - the Badgers quarterback, the Bruins' opponent in the Rose Bowl, and a witness to the miracle that night.
However, Scott didn't seem to mind the failure that night. He showed a big smile, waved to Lu Ke, and took the initiative to greet him, "Hey, are you participating in the draft this year?" Scott's expression seemed to be I was a little nervous, but when I saw Lu Ke, I was obviously relieved, "I was still thinking just now, how could there be no representatives from the Pac-12 League this year!"
"Haha, just say this between us. If others hear it, I will get beaten." Lu Ke's humorous tone made Scott laugh happily.
The most watched player in the Pac-12 this year is undoubtedly Stanford University's quarterback Andrew Luck. In the selection of the Heisman Award, Andrew unfortunately lost to Cam Newton and ranked second; Many people are looking forward to it. If Andrew and Cam run for the election together, there will be another battle this year.
However, unexpectedly, after careful consideration, Andrew, a junior this year, decided to continue his senior career and give up this year's draft. As a result, Cam's reputation continued to rise, and then there was a scene where off-field support was outstanding.
However, even if Andrew does not participate in the draft, there are still seeds in the Pac-12 Conference. Jack Lock of the University of Washington is considered to have the strength of the first two rounds, and has a high chance of being selected in the first round. Compared to a nobody like Lu Ke, he definitely doesn't get the same level of attention.
Only then did Lu Ke make fun of him. While speaking, both Lu Ke and Scott cast their eyes towards Jack, who was not far away. Jack, who was confused, looked over and nodded in a friendly manner. As a result, Lu Ke and Scott had to work harder to suppress their laughter.
"It seems that you are still self-aware." A voice from the side intervened, joking, teasing, ridiculing, disdain, contempt, and a little gloating. Without looking back, the noisy voice was clearly identifiable. It was not Cam. -Newton, who else.
Sure enough, then, Cam walked up to Lu Ke and Steck, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Wait, does anyone know who this guy is? Quarterback? Jesus Christ, you I have never heard of which team's quarterback he is. Could it be that the organizing committee made a mistake and let in a country bumpkin from a ravine? Asians, are you sure you know how to play rugby? "
Twenty-one quarterbacks, nearly all of whom were starters for their respective college teams. The reason is simple. Starting games for three or four years in college gives scouts enough time and space to collect information, which becomes their capital to enter the rookie training camp; even if they are not starting players, they are bound to play frequently. Substitute players, or fixed rotation players.
Among the 332 players in the rookie training camp, about 280 players entered the roster through this method, which is also the most orthodox and regular method; the remaining players are based on the league's Scouting reports, coach recommendations, school recommendations, etc. are used to select and enter.
Players who were previously inconspicuous and suddenly emerged during the draft stage do exist, but they are few and far between. Especially for the special position of quarterback, they are even rarer. This is obviously the case for Lu Ke, who suddenly jumped out of the cracks in the stone - during the California in-state selection process, Lu Ke passed almost every achievement just under the passing mark, and barely managed to get into the rookie training camp. qualifications.
"I can't imagine that we can actually see players from the elite class among the rookies this year. It's really rare." Cam just used words like "hillbilly" to try to humiliate Lu Ke, but Lu Ke chose "elite class" Such ridicule is refuted - most rugby players come from very ordinary family backgrounds, including many players who come from slums or farmers in the middle of the country. In fact, Cam himself is from a poor family.
In college, Cam attended the University of Florida, but in 2008, he was arrested for stealing a classmate's laptop. Considering that he was only a first-time offender, the prosecutor did not charge further, but Cam was still banned from the school for life. In desperation, he only Neng transferred to a vocational school. After a year of accumulation, his outstanding performance on the field allowed him to get the favor of a famous rugby school again. In the end, he chose Auburn University, and thus, he has come all the way to where he is now.
With a simple retort, Lu Ke easily put Cam into an embarrassing situation where he didn't know what to do. If someone takes advantage of what he said just now, Cam will fall into another whirlpool. But this is not the end. "What surprises me even more is that players who have received a good elite education are not polite at all. They not only eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but also interrupt other people's conversations. What is the current elite class? What's wrong?"
Lu Ke asked Scott for the last sentence, completely ignoring Cam. But other quarterbacks around him laughed without giving any face.
Cam became a little angry and stepped forward to push Lu Ke's shoulder. Then he took advantage of his body and bullied him, "Who are you? A nobody, do you dare to name me?"
"Which idiot wants to know?" Lu Ke showed no weakness, stepped forward, and used the recoil to rush forward, "Who the hell do you think you are? If you ask a question, I have to answer. Do you think Are you Jesus Christ?"
Cam's firecracker was completely ignited, and his facial expression was a little distorted.
In early December, after the results of the Heisman Award were announced, Cam ushered in the most glorious period of his career. He defeated Andrew Luck, who was born in an Ivy League school, and won the most important award in college football. This feeling of elation made him very excited; and in the draft stage, he was a well-deserved candidate for the No. 1 pick. He didn't think anyone could pose a threat to him, not even Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller. . He is enjoying the best time of his life.
But now, having suffered from this Asian boy twice, I feel really aggrieved. Involuntarily, Cam clenched his hands into fists and said through gritted teeth, "Coward! Coward! Apart from a mouth, what else do you have? You probably don't even have the important part of a man!"
Lu Ke smiled instead of getting angry, "I don't know who it is, but it takes the initiative to provoke me every time. I can't see anything except a mouth. Did your mouth move on /***'s lower body for too long last night? ?Is that why it stinks so much?" Every word, like a spike, rushed towards Cam without showing any signs of weakness!
At the same time, Lu Ke's hands were clenched into fists, ready to attack at any time.
"Shut up! Shut up, all of you!" One person rushed up immediately, then turned back and shouted to the other quarterbacks, "Quickly pull these two bulls apart. On the first day of the draft, there were reports of fights among rookies. We The entire rookie training camp will be embarrassed, do you think the media will let us off easily?"
Under the shouts, other people rushed up one after another and separated Lu Ke and Cam.
Lu Ke always stayed awake. Cam's words were not painful at all and had no power at all. The level of trash talk was more than one level worse than yesterday's Richard Hillman, so the quarterbacks pulled him Open, he took two steps back, and then released his fist, indicating that he was very calm and didn't need to worry.
That look of ease immediately made Cam furious. He struggled twice, like the Hulk transforming, attacking indiscriminately, pushing away the quarterback who came to break up the fight. During his time at Auburn University, Cam was nicknamed "Superman" because of his superhuman physical strength, which was confirmed again today.
"Damn God! What are you doing!" Two staff members walked up quickly and yelled, "If you want to give up on the draft, get out now; if you want to be kicked out of the training camp, just continue to be reckless. !" Not only the staff, but also other rookies also paid attention.
Cam's heated head finally cooled down. He glared at Lu Ke fiercely, turned to look at the staff, and calmed his breathing, "No, it's just boys playing around together. It's really seen here. There are many old friends here, and it is inevitable to bump into each other. After all, this is a football draft, not basketball." He also made a joke that was not funny.
One of the staff members rolled his eyes and said, "My favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers."
Cam was annoyed and touched his nose, but didn't say anything more. He walked to the side obediently. The commotion calmed down before it started.
Looking back, Cam pointed at his eyes with two fingers, and then pointed at Lu Ke, as if to say: We will see the outcome on the field.
Lu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips in disdain, and then turned his head to chat with Scott, as if he didn't take Cam seriously at all. This move immediately made Cam grit his teeth again.
"You are so... bold!" Scott couldn't help but chuckled, "That's Cam Newton."
"What, does he have three arms? Or four legs?" Lu Ke asked back, which made Scott stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing. Indeed, he could not argue with that.
