Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1578 - 1577: National Idol

Silently, just standing there silently, watching Li Wei’s every move.

Although Li Wei didn’t do anything special, he made a routine appearance and greeted the familiar staff at the Rookie Training Camp; that was all. Yet everyone in Lucas Oil Stadium couldn’t take their eyes off him; even if they turned their heads, their gazes would inadvertently drift back.

Lamb held his breath and whispered in Hertz’s ear, "Like a Dementor."

Hertz couldn’t help but chuckle, turning to his teammate, "Do you dare to say that to his face?"

Lamb instinctively shrank his shoulders.

But seeing the smile in Hertz’s eyes, Lamb immediately realized he had backed off, quickly straightening his posture, "Dare, why wouldn’t I dare? If he comes over, I’ll say it!"

Hertz didn’t reply, just quietly looked at Lamb.

Lamb pursed his lips, coughed twice to cover his own embarrassment, "What do you think he’s doing at the Rookie Training Camp? This has nothing to do with him, right?"

Hertz, "Don’t know. Probably a League event. Didn’t you see? Goodell is accompanying him personally."

Lamb sized up the situation quietly, "Or it could be the Kansas City Chiefs requesting permission for him to interfere in the draft?"

Hertz, "Of course, that’s also possible."

Lamb rolled his eyes, "Come on, how is that possible? No one in the League would allow a player to interfere directly with a team’s draft in this way, not even Li Wei could..."

Lamb noticed Hertz giving him a look and quickly corrected himself, "Professor, I mean Professor."

"If the Professor really interferes with the draft so blatantly, he’d probably be drowned in criticism from the entire League."

Hertz, "Mm."

Lamb, "Mm? That’s your response?"

Hertz, "If you can see it, there’s no reason a rookie can’t see it. But he’s still here. Do you think he doesn’t know what’s going on?"

Lamb: ...

Actually, Lamb knew Hertz was right, but he didn’t want to admit it, "Anyway, whatever he says is always right, isn’t it? You greet him fondly as a rookie, but he probably doesn’t even remember you. If you meet him on the professional field someday, how do you plan to face him?"

Hertz didn’t hesitate at all, "Beat him."

Straightforward and powerful words.

Lamb was choked with surprise, this was an answer he hadn’t expected at all.

Hertz’s eyes revealed a gleam, "The rookie said the greatest respect to a friend on the field is to go all out to defeat him honorably."

"I hope someday, I can defeat him like he defeated Watt."

"I’ve been working hard and fighting just for such a day, to compete with the rookie with no reservations on the field."

For a brief moment, Lamb felt an unstoppable force emanating from Hertz, leaving him stunned.

But before Lamb could think deeply, there was a scuffling commotion among the rookie players ahead, and Lamb and Hertz instinctively looked over.

The staff at the Rookie Training Camp were making introductions; from their actions, it seemed like they were inviting Li Wei to interact closely with this year’s rookies.

This action instantly stirred up the young players.

Some were eager, wanting to shake hands and greet Li Wei; some were proud, pretending to be indifferent yet couldn’t help glancing over; some were sharpening their knives, seemingly ready to challenge Li Wei; some deemed themselves lofty, deliberately turning away to avoid joining the crowd, holding onto their dignity.

Nevertheless, the commotion couldn’t help but spread——

Regardless of whether they admitted it or not, Li Wei, this monster who emerged from the stone, indeed created countless miracles and records in the NFL, commanding awe.

In terms of status, reputation, popularity, authority, in every aspect, Li Wei is the League’s First Man, and he’s already in the discussion for the GOAT.

But the truly astonishing part is, Li Wei is only in his fourth season, meaning his rookie contract hasn’t even ended yet.

So, when such a Li Wei stood before the young rookies, the feelings were entirely different.

On the one hand, they were only two or three years apart from Li Wei, not much of a difference, seemingly able to imagine themselves fighting alongside Li Wei on the college field.

On the other hand, Li Wei was already high and mighty, untouchable; his youthful fame and glorious feats compelled everyone to look up with admiration, unable to resist imagining themselves soaring to the sky following in Li Wei’s footsteps.

The entire crowd was like boiling water.

Chattering and bustling, people encouraged Burrow to step forward; Burrow had just publicly challenged Li Wei in front of reporters; now that the real person appeared, the great opportunity couldn’t be missed.

Burrow secretly straightened his back, felt a dry throat, but maintained a calm demeanor on the outside, determined not to lose in momentum no matter what.

So, Burrow stood his ground, refusing to take the initiative to step forward, as if waiting for Li Wei to come over.

Beside him, there were whispers and shoves towards Tagovailoa and Herbert, especially Tagovailoa—— 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

After all, they both came from the University of Alabama.

Tagovailoa had no words to express his bitterness; he had never met Li Wei and rushed forward at this moment to claim kinship. Is this really okay?

Moreover, Tagovailoa knew, Li Wei doesn’t remember names; this is well known in the Crimson Tide Storm, and many stories about Li Wei’s quirks continue to circulate.

If Tagovailoa went over and Li Wei responded with, "Who," what would he do then?

Tagovailoa was visibly troubled, his face flushed red.

However, at this moment, Tagovailoa breathed a sigh of relief——

Li Wei refused.

With a bright smile, Li Wei indicated it was unnecessary to disturb the players’ warmup; he said something, and all the staff around burst into laughter.

Tagovailoa could clearly sense the sighs of regret and exclamation of surrounding folks. In fact, he also felt regret; after all, it’s Li Wei, the one and only Li Wei, who wouldn’t want to shake hands and take a photo with him?

Especially since that was the legend of the Crimson Tide Storm; even now, the locker room still abounds with Li Wei’s countless stories, and many of Li Wei’s training traditions are still followed.

But since Li Wei wasn’t coming over, Tagovailoa was too embarrassed to take the initiative to disturb him.

Li Wei had already turned away, leaving behind a silhouette; the young rookies sighed and prepared to turn back to their warm-up, only to hear another commotion suddenly rise——

Li Wei was coming back.

The commotion briefly erupted and then was cut off, with some struggling to contain their excitement, stepping forward to meet Li Wei.

Because Li Wei bid farewell to Goodell and jogged towards the rookies.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

All eyes focused on Burrow.

Of course, there was also attention on Tagovailoa, but mainly on Burrow, without a doubt, Burrow was this year’s rookie superstar.

Burrow also noticed, secretly straightened his back, put on a fighting stance, clenched his fists, and cheered himself on, constantly reminding himself——

You are equals, you are the same, you will defeat him.

Those fervent gazes and eager expectations left Burrow feeling boiling with excitement.

And then...

He watched in astonishment as Li Wei bypassed him, seemingly not seeing the proud and upright Burrow at all.

Burrow’s fair and handsome face stiffened with a noticeable awkward smile, could it be Tagovailoa?

Burrow instinctively held his breath and shifted his gaze, following Li Wei’s steps, as the crowd spontaneously opened a path that led directly——

To Jalen Hurts.
