"A question, just how strong is Li Wei?"

"Currently, the main records for rookie running backs in the League were set by the legendary running back Eric Dickson in 1984. It has been thirty-three years and no one has broken them after they were sealed away for thirty-three years."

"1,808 rushing yards, 18 rushing touchdowns."

"For thirty-three years, generation after generation of young players have attempted to break these rookie season records, but all have failed; even the gifted stars like Tomlinson and Peterson haven’t managed to break the records."

"Is it because they weren’t exceptional enough?"

"No, of course not, they have all proven their legendary status; a more important reason is, the League’s trend is now shifting from running to passing, narrowing down the living space for running backs, and the chances for rookie running backs to bear significant responsibilities are even fewer, making it increasingly difficult to maintain high output throughout an entire rookie season."

"Until now."

"Li Wei is less than two hundred yards away from Dickson’s rushing record, and he has already matched Dickson’s touchdown record."

"Note that Li Wei’s team is the Kansas City Chiefs, known for their passing offense, with Reed as the head coach, and their rushing offense had been only mid-tier in the league for the past two seasons."

"Li Wei has not only proven he’s not just any system player, but he has also demonstrated his ability to turn the tide and decide the outcome of a game."

"So, when we talk about Li Wei, it is far more than just a set of data."

"I think, Li Wei certainly has the qualifications to enter the discussion for regular season MVP."

"Blair, what do you think?" Experience more content on Freewebnovel@@@@

On the show "Inside the League," with a sudden switch, Lawson threw the topic at Bart, who was caught off guard like he’d been struck by lightning, realizing only a second later that everyone’s eyes had turned towards him.

Bart took a deep breath, knowing he had once again found himself in a tight spot; moreover, this time the Chiefs’ complete victory over the Oakland Raiders was, in a sense, even more unexpected and shocking than any other game this season, leaving Bart without even his underpants.

But what could he do?

"Are you sure you want to ask my opinion?"

Bart said with self-mockery, prompting laughter throughout the studio—

The moniker "Football Bailey" had officially made its mark, and even fans were joking about him, with all sorts of memes flooding social media.

"He’s performed well, but I’ve done better."

"Let’s not talk about a joke like the regular season MVP, why not discuss Rookie of the Year instead? I believe I deserve that title more than he does."

Kamara had had enough of Li Wei since the Rookie Training Camp. He did not think that Li Wei was better than any other running back this year. If it wasn’t for the label of an Asian player, how could he have drawn so much attention and be picked so early in the first round, third overall?

Meanwhile, Kamara was just a third-round, sixty-seventh overall selection.

Regular season MVP?

Heh, that was a joke, and Kamara was the first to refute it.

In fact, Kamara wasn’t just talking big.

This year at the draft, the conversation about running backs was focused entirely on the "big three" carriages: Fournette, Li Wei, and McCaffrey, to the point where other running backs were completely overlooked and ignored. But once the regular season started, Fournette’s and McCaffrey’s performances were slightly below expectations, leaving only Li Wei struggling alone, once again proving—

The draft was essentially a show, at its core a game of marketing and promotion, with everyone viewing through a foggy lens while believing they could see clearly. But only time would tell the truth.

Fournette and McCaffrey didn’t meet expectations, but Kamara rose impressively instead.

After joining the New Orleans Saints, Kamara, backing up the former Crimson Tide Storm running back Mark Ingram, brought top-level performance despite limited playtime.

In Week 11, Kamara became the first player since Herschel Walker in 1986 to achieve 500 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a single season.

In Week 13, Kamara became the fourth player in history to reach 600 rushing yards and 600 receiving yards, tying with the Los Angeles Rams’ Gurley for eleven touchdowns, ranking second in the league in touchdown count, just behind the far-leading... Li Wei.

At the Kansas City Chiefs, rookie running back Hunter earned his place with his ability in both rushing and receiving, also becoming a hot topic in the league; but in front of Kamara, Hunter’s numbers seemed a bit dim.

If it weren’t for the Los Angeles Rams running back Gurley’s strong performance in the National Conference, Kamara might have gained more than just two Offensive Player of the Week honors.

So, when Kamara attacked Li Wei, the media immediately realized—

Here comes the talking point.

Afterwards, when the topic reached Li Wei, this annual hot topic still looked innocently with a clear gaze towards the camera.

"Who?"
