There are 32 teams in the NFL, and each team can only interview a maximum of 60 rookies in the rookie camp, out of a total of 332 rookies in the entire camp.

This means that the hottest players, such as Cam Newton and von Miller, may all 32 teams have one round of interviews; At the same time, it also means that the most unpopular players, such as Lu Ke, may only interview teams in the single digits.

Not only that, but there are also advantages and disadvantages of the teams interviewed, on the one hand, the difference in the strength of the team, on the one hand, the players themselves, and on the other hand, the question of opportunity.

The strength of the team is very easy to understand, every player is eager to win the top trophy of the NFL, the Super Bowl, just like the NBA's championship ring, even the big name players, in order to chase a championship ring, may reduce their salary, just for a chance to win the championship. For rookie players, it's even more so, to be able to join a championship team, which is a dream.

The second is that the heart belongs. Every player has their own favorite team, and thanks to the heritage of rugby culture, just like the football club culture in Europe, some players may have been fans of a certain team since their great-grandfathers, and they have worked tirelessly to play for that team all their lives.

Finally, there is the question of timing. For most rookie players, being able to play is the most important thing. Take quarterbacks as an example, if they are substitutes for Drew Bliss and Aaron Rodgers, then they may spend three or five years on the bench, and in the end, they will not have the opportunity to display their talents at all, and they will disappear from the league without doing anything; But if you head to teams like the Tampa Bay Pirates, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and New York Jets, they'll be able to carry the banner and show their quality on the court.

The teams have their own choices, the players have their own choices, it's a two-way process. Although the team has absolute initiative in the draft, the interview for the training camp is a start. Everyone wants to get off to a good start.

After the training match, the whole rookie training camp began to get busy, and although the training camp was about to enter the final day, the busyness not only did not weaken, but gradually moved towards a high/climax.

For the organizing committee, they had to arrange 32 meeting rooms to provide space for 32 teams to conduct interviews; At the same time, the average interview time for each player is five to ten minutes, which also means that 60 players will need at least 8 to 10 hours of time, and the fourth day will be in non-stop busy mode, and the organizing committee must arrange related issues such as catering, safety and order.

For the team, they have to have a meeting in full swing, gather all the scouts scattered outside, plus the team manager and the members of the coaching staff, there may be nearly 30 people in total, meet and discuss, list the players they are interested in, and send out an invitation to interview before 8 o'clock in the evening; Then work out the relevant questions, focus on the people, and so on. It's going to be a sleepless night.

For the players, they need to relax a little bit, but at the same time they need to be nervous. Waiting for an interview invitation and preparing for tomorrow's interview – they had to wear a suit, the only time they wore a suit in the entire training camp.

"How many?" Rahim-Moore's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Lu Ke, who was sweating profusely in front of him, in disbelief, and blurted out an exclamation.

A bright smile also appeared on Lu Ke's face, "Fifteen." ”

After nightfall, he received a total of 15 team interview invitations, which was really unexpected, a real surprise. Considering he didn't have a college career, no high school game stats, and just two incomplete games and rookie camp performances, he was invited to meet with fifteen teams, which was definitely a win!

And don't forget that Lu Ke is a Chinese; At the same time, he is also a quarterback, the most competitive and fiercest position.

Marcus showed a bright smile, walked over, and bumped Lu Ke's shoulder, "I'm not surprised at all. Then he looked at Rahim, "Man, look at Bambi, the first thing he did when he came back today was to go to the gym to finish his training, and he hasn't stopped training since the three days of the training camp." Haven't you heard? Everyone is telling the story of Bambi and Watt, who are training madnesses. ”

Rahim pursed his lips and complained speechlessly, "Are you sure it's a madman?" Not a neuropathy? ”

Lu Ke frowned slightly, looked at Marcus condescendingly, and made a disgusted expression, "Brother, have you been paying attention to my whereabouts all along?" How else do you know that I'm going to the gym as soon as I get back today? Are you supposed to be ......" The deep gaze looked Marcus up and down, and the implication could not be more obvious.

Marcuston jumped up and pushed Lu Ke's shoulder hard, but because of the huge difference in height, there was an illusion of ants shaking the tree, "Hey! Hey! Be careful when you speak, how can you accuse indiscriminately, I am a clean and athletic little white dragon, still waiting for the appreciation of my future wife, you talk like this, scare them away, so what should I do? ”

"Little White Dragon?" Logan, who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows, revealing a playful expression.

Marcus put his hands on his waist and deliberately pushed his waist forward, "What, you want to see and understand?" As a result, no one was afraid of him at all, but with a good look on his face, Marcus suddenly rode the tiger and had a hard time, stood up abruptly, looked left and right, and then saw Lu Ke's expression that seemed to be smiling, his eyes widened, and he ...... high. Raise your chin high, trying to stay parallel to Lu Ke's eyes, but it was almost impossible, "What do you see?" Haven't you seen a little white dragon? ”

"Are you sure it's a dragon? No...... Horse? Lu Ke raised his right hand and put it on top of his head, then compared it in parallel, compared the height, his right hand went down, and then down, little by little, and finally landed on Marcus's head, the meaning of such an action could not be more obvious: this is to laugh at Marcus's height is too short, suitable for being a horse, not the tall kind, but the kind that becomes a mount.

In fact, Marcus is not short, 5.9 feet (180 cm), but in front of Lu Ke, he is 5.1 inches (13 cm) shorter, plus the relationship between body size - Marcus is a running back, with a relatively strong figure and a more stocky look; And Lu Ke is already thinner, and the visual effect is higher. As a result, this visual gap becomes extremely obvious.

"Haha!" Everyone in the room burst into laughter, and Marcus was the only one with a depressed face, but his current actions didn't help at all - he raised his chin high, as if Lilliputian was looking up at the giants, and this gesture ...... "Bambi!" You, you giant deer! And what about me, and so do you! ”

"Giant deer? What the hell is this? Logan spat without embarrassment, "You mean giraffes?" ”

"No, I'm talking about, the giant sika deer!" Bambi, a fawn, is a sika deer. Marcus shouted steadfastly, "Giant deer! And you, you're the same, hairy! After saying that, Marcus also made a childish grimace and stuck out his tongue, like a child who has not grown up.

"So what are you? Elf Mouse Brother? Lu Ke's counterattack made Marcus stiffen in place on the spot, and the others laughed, and David Carter rolled directly under the bed, and the scene was so lively.

After the joy, Lu Ke withdrew his attention, and then asked, "What about you?" What's your situation like? ”

"Twenty-one." Raheem took the initiative to say.

"Twenty." Logan followed.

Raheem and Logan are the two most promising players for the Bruins, Raheem is the safety guard in the defensive group, and the safety guard is extremely scarce this year, only fifteen rookies, so the team naturally asks more; Logan is the close end of the offensive group, and there are not many near ends this year, but each team generally has three wide receivers and one near end, and the demand is not that high, and relatively speaking, there are a lot of teams to ask, but not as many as Rahim.

David looked at his teammates and hesitated, but Marcus complained directly, "What's embarrassing, even Bambi is so honest." I'm ten. ”

David was stunned, "Me too." Ten sticks. ”

Marcus is a running back, this year's running back competition is particularly fierce, I heard that there are a total of 32 players, the overall strength is not outstanding, and Marcus himself is not too outstanding, and there is no topic in the training camp, relatively speaking, it is not surprising.

David is a defensive tackle, the same position as JJ Watt, firstly, there are 25 rookies competing for defensive tackles this year, and secondly, this is one of the most competitive positions this year, about ten players are at the level of first-round picks, but all ten teams choose defensive tackles in the first round? This is unlikely. As a result, David had a slightly less chance of interviewing.

"Looks like tomorrow is going to be a busy day!" Lu Ke couldn't help but sigh that in addition to the five interview opportunities given by the system, there were actually ten teams that showed interest in him, which was really a happy event worth celebrating!

"Bambi, what's your home team?" Raheem intrigued that almost every player has a home team, but very few players can play for their home team.

"Green Bay Packers." It wasn't Lu Ke who answered, but Logan, and then he showed a look of disdain, "We both grew up in San Francisco, but his home team is actually packers, what kind of nonsense is this!" Logan rolled her eyes widely.

San Francisco is located in an area known as the "Bay Area", which is the second largest metropolitan agglomeration in California after Los Angeles, including San Francisco, Oakland, Silicon Valley and other important areas.

The NFL has two teams in the area, the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders, and naturally has countless veteran football fans; The Green Bay Packers are located in Wisconsin, which spans most of the North American continent from San Francisco.

Lu Ke spread his hands and smiled dumbly, "The first game I watched was the Green Bay Packers, what can I do?" Their team atmosphere, their team culture, is really fascinating. What's more, the San Francisco 49ers are my second home team, and I don't think there's a conflict. ”

"Balabala." Logan still had an unwilling expression on his face, and his face was full of disgust, which made everyone laugh.

Raheem pressed up again, "I mean, did you get an interview invitation from the home team?" ”
