Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 165 164 Wise and capable

It was just for a brief moment, all the noise, all the discussions, all the excitement suddenly went silent, and every gaze in the narrow corridor fell on Li Wei.

Not far away, the cornerback group was bustling closer, their clamor highlighting the stark silence before them, even the sound of breathing was abruptly cut off.

A perfect score?

A perfect score!

This was the second player to achieve a perfect score on the Frederick Test in the NFL since Wide Receiver Pat McInally in 1975.

A full forty-one years had passed.

Shocking as this news was, it lacked some impact, serving merely as fodder for casual conversation; after all, the Frederick Test was just a piece of reference data. McInally hadn't been selected until the fifth round after scoring perfectly, so it wasn't something to fuss over.

But this time, the player with a perfect Frederick Test score was a running back—a "muscles without brains" running back?

This...

Stirred up a thousand ripples with a single stone.

The news sprouted wings and in an instant had spread throughout the entire Lucas Oil Stadium, and once-quiet glances were directed once more at Li Wei.

In fact, from his performance during the regular season, it was clear that Li Wei was not a rigid player, but now, seeing the actual test results, one couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Kamara glanced down at his own test results again, the numbers that had just made him feel so proud now seemed too hot to handle. Muttering a curse under his breath, he was just about to step forward when he decisively halted and quietly retreated, hiding his tracks before he could be humiliated.

As Kamara took his first step away, he saw Fournette. Their gazes inadvertently collided in the air.

Fournette felt a bit embarrassed, held his breath, and silently shifted his gaze away, looking up into the sky, withdrawing from the commotion around him, transforming into a ninja.

Kamara also tactfully turned his head away, looking to the other side, where the cornerback group was coming right at him. He silently began to count—

One. Two. Three...

Meanwhile, the instigator of it all, McCaffrey, was completely oblivious to the stir around him, eyes wide with amazement, looking the alien up and down with a face full of curiosity.

"Wow!"

In addition, there are some specialized events beyond the basic test items tailored for different positions, as in football, different positions face entirely different situations and challenges.

In the running back group, Fournette was undoubtedly the most widely noticed among the players who finished all test events first, as his physical capability was his strongest weapon, and it had been proven.

However, Fournette, who was plagued by injuries on and off throughout the season, still hadn't reached his 100% condition, and his performance in the tests was mediocre.

Forty-yard dash in 4.51 seconds, twenty-yard shuttle run in 4.53, three-cone drill in 7.27, vertical jump at 30.5 inches (77 centimeters), broad jump at 2.95 meters, bench press 25 times.

Stay tuned with empire

The only impressive performance was the bench press, where he ranked first among the running backs at present.

Initially, people speculated that Fournette, hindered by injuries, might not participate in all of the physical tests, as he had already proven himself over the past two seasons, and there was no need to force himself to do the physical tests with a body not yet fully recovered, which could potentially harm his drafting prospects with poor data.

But obviously, feeling the impending crisis from the pincer attack of Li Wei and McCaffrey, Fournette decided to join the physical testing.

Now that the results were out, it was hard to discern Fournette's expression from his dark complexion, but one could vaguely catch a hint of bewilderment from the scattered focus of his eyes.

And then—

Whoa!

Gasps rose from the crowd before they could even catch a glimpse of the physical test data on the big screen, the next second they saw a figure somersaulting like a gymnast, performing handstands, aerial twists, and dizzying acrobatic maneuvers that wowed the entire auditorium.

Thump.

Landing firmly, Kamara raised his head and puffed out his chest with a proud stance, immediately drawing a chorus of whistles, applause, and cheers.

It was flashy and arrogant.

Even the staff responsible for compiling the physical testing data couldn't help but smile.

Kamara lifted his chin high, his eyes gleaming as they darted a quick glance at Fournette, brimming with vigor yet without lingering, confidently resting on Li Wei—

How about it, are you ready?

Fournette didn't have time to gauge Li Wei's response; he turned his head towards the big screen, and his face changed instantly:

Damn.
