The role skills test on the third day of the rookie bootcamp is about to begin.

At this time, the entire court had been emptied, standing on Lu Ke's side, not far behind him, there was a large row of scouts and quarterback coaches, looking roughly, there were at least twenty or more people, standing in the ten yards in front of the end area, accompanied by two TV camera takers with cameras, Qiao and his party were on their way to meet them.

On the opposite half, there were also a dozen or twenty coaches and scouts standing, and then the wide receivers and close end forwards were scattered around the end zone. In this year's camp, there were only 21 quarterbacks, but there were 40 wide receivers and 20 close ends, all of whom had to be tested to receive the ball, and even a handful of running backs joined in.

After two days of training camp, the tension has not decreased, to be precise, as time progresses, everyone knows exactly what they are doing, the good people want to continue, and the bad people want to turn the tide, so the tension is still rising.

Role skills test, because the routines are all prescribed, there is not much room for free play, and each team considers more basic skills. For example, the quarterback's passing accuracy; For example, whether the wide receiver will drop the ball or the ability to run the route; Another example is the area covered by the cornerback, the defensive movements, and so on.

These details are not decisive, but they can change the draft positions of the rookies, and maybe the champion will become Tanhua; Maybe the second round of the show will become a three-round show - the most intuitive result of such a difference is that the change in income, the signing bonus of the first round and the second round is naturally different. So, every player is gearing up and looking forward to a better performance.

Cam and Lu Ke are no exception.

You can still feel the sharp and piercing gaze on your shoulder, like a shadow, you don't need to look back to know that it must be Cam, but Lu Ke didn't pay attention to it, but gradually calmed down and concentrated. Physicality is his shortcoming, then passing skills are his strength, in the absence of defensive players to fight, the passing accuracy can be played to the extreme, this will be the stage for him to prove his ability!

The role skills test soon began, because the receiver was three times as large as the quarterback, so each quarterback had to pass the ball to three receivers, short, medium, long, sideline, center, straight, rainbow, and so on, to test the quarterback's passing ability in all aspects.

Four quarterbacks appeared on the pitch and completed the test; Then it was the turn of the much-anticipated Cam Newton!

Standing at the 20-yard line, Cam seemed confident, comfortable and eager to try, but seemed a little too excited, so that the control of the passing force was not very accurate, the arm strength was unquestionable, but the accuracy and control were not satisfactory, and the first three passes were all off, and all of them were too strong, causing the receiver to adjust his speed in time and miss the catch.

Such an amateur mistake, the scouts on the scene all let out an exclamation, and they couldn't believe that such a mistake actually happened to Cam.

Thankfully, under pressure, Cam recovered slightly and his fourth pass was successful. However, on the whole, the results are still not outstanding. Without any pressure from any defenders, only 22 of the 30 passes were crossed, and eight of them were slightly off in terms of accuracy, the accuracy of the passes seemed to be inconsistent, and the control was still to be examined.

For the average quarterback, that's above average; But for the Heisman winner, it still failed to live up to expectations.

After the test, Cam was also extremely annoyed, and he became angry with himself, slamming his left fist into the palm of his right hand, expressing his dissatisfaction.

From Cam to Lu Ke, from No. 5 to No. 11, there were many players in between, and by the time Lu Ke came on the court, it was already an hour later. Cam gradually regained his composure, while Lu Ke gradually began to tense.

In Cam's disdainful and disdainful, ridiculed and mocking eyes, Lu Ke took a deep breath and stepped forward calmly, under the spotlight, he knew that the moment that belonged to him had finally arrived! If it can't shine at this time, then the dream of a professional player can come to an end here, and it is the wisest thing to return to ordinary life on the ground, even the system can't help.

With a long exhale, the whole state of mind calmed down, but the emotions began to stir up. In the arena, every time he walks on the field with his feet, he can feel the excitement and excitement in his bones, as if he was born to belong to this stage!

Then, Lu Ke raised his head, looked at the coaches standing not far away, nodded, and signaled that he was ready.

Kip stood with Joe and Karl, he didn't speak, just looked at the two people next to him with a smile, and motioned for them to pay attention to the quarterback in front of them: Chinese, von Derrick test score, unknown, these three elements combined are enough to make people curious.

Qiao nodded secretly, and said in a low voice, "His preparation posture is very standard, and his whole person's momentum is also very stable, which is better than Newton." ”

"Are you kidding?" Carl rolled his eyes, the impression he had when they first met was not good, and now it hasn't changed, "I think he's just a grandstanding clown." Maybe it's to get into an Ivy League school, and then deliberately participate in the draft and show off. ”

"Just see how good you are at passing." Kip said with a smile in a neutral stance, but the next second, the voice was stuck in his throat as the test officially began.

Kick off, step back, observe, pass, the whole action is smooth and all in one go! What's more, the rotation and arc of the rugby ball in the air are very stable, without any deviation, and it falls into the arms of the receiver with almost no effort. Clean and accurate, such a performance is really eye-catching.

This short pass of eight yards is just the beginning.

In the other twenty-nine passes, the short pass was fast and accurate, and the whole shot was extremely clean, like a hot dinner knife cutting butter, which was really pleasing to the eye; The momentum of the long pass is like a rainbow, the swing amplitude of the arm is like a bow shooting eagle, and the rainbow ball and bullet ball are both accurate, which not only shows the outstanding arm strength, but also shows the precision of control; The mid-range is steady and appropriate, covering the whole field, it can almost be said that it refers to where to play, and the permutations and combinations of different routes are easy to master.

Thirty passes, twenty-nine crosses!

This is the best quarterback among the eleven quarterbacks so far since the start of today's character skills test! The performance was so good that the coaches and scouts really caught their eyes.

What's even more rare is that in the process of passing, Lu Ke showed precise control, which was really brilliant. Every pass falls firmly into the chest of the receiver, like a textbook standard.

The only regret is that the accuracy of the middle pass is a little inconsistent, the deviation is within half an arm to an arm's range, and the pass that does not come in is the middle pass, and the deviation has also occurred three times, but this is still within the acceptable range. One bad apple won’t spoil the whole bunch!

Purely in terms of passing skills, perhaps Lu Ke is the most solid basic among this year's quarterback rookies. Moreover, the shell arm and control accuracy are indeed unexpected surprises.

After Lu Ke's thirty passes were over, Joe couldn't help but come out again. As the quarterback coach of the New Orleans Saints, his co-quarterback is the elite Drew Bliss, who has a deep insight into the passing offense, and can be called one of the best passing coaches in the league.

In previous tests, the long pass benchmark was around forty yards, and it didn't push the limit further. Because the test mainly looks at the basic skills of the quarterback, and the extreme ability of the quarterback has been documented by scouts in the NCAA games. However, Lu Ke is a special case, scouting information is pitiful, and in the rookie training camp, everyone is exploring the details of the quarterback. That's why Joe made such a request.

Lu Ke was not timid, he stayed where he was calmly, waiting for the quarterback coach and the wide receiver coaches to communicate with each other on the walkie-talkie, and then officially began to challenge the long pass.

With the first long pass, the flying football ball flew straight out of 60 yards and landed just under the wide receiver's shoulder. Such an understatement of passing the ball caused an exclamation from the audience - such a passing skill can already be at the forefront of the league, not as good as Aaron Rodgers, but not much behind, but the question is: how consistent?

Next, Lu Ke passed five long passes in a row, and when the last long pass was made, the flight trajectory of the rugby ball was already unstable, swaying and leisurely, and the entire parabola was out of control. It can be seen that Lu Ke's physical fitness is still not enough, not enough to complete the severe test of six consecutive long passes; What's more, he had just completed thirty consecutive passes before.

However, of the six long biographies, the last two are around fifty-five yards, which is very stable and very accurate; The farthest one was at sixty-five yards, a bit off target, two steps off target, and the wide receiver missed out on it. It can be seen that sixty yards should be Lu Ke's relatively stable level now.

For a quarterback who is not physically satisfied, this is a remarkable result! However, don't forget that this is a result achieved without the confrontation of defensive players, and in the official game, Lu Ke will definitely not be able to complete the pass so comfortably. This also means that Lu Ke is a strong and weak board is extremely obvious, so how should he choose?

"Ding", a sound sounded in my head again: a special mission has appeared again?
