Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 54 Emerged from the sky
"... Indeed, we need to continue to observe and this young player still needs to continue to prove himself, but I must admit that I was amazed."

The next day, when Blake Ledger was a guest on an ESPN football show, he couldn't wait to share what he had seen and heard yesterday.

The NFL is in the offseason, but the professional league is still busy. The draft has just ended and the offseason free trade market has entered.

It is also because of this that professionals have temporarily shifted their attention from college players to the renewal, termination and signing of league teams.

However, Blackledger couldn't help himself and shared the joy; then, Blackledger realized that he was not alone -

Although it was just an NCAA warm-up game, ESPN's live broadcast ratings still exploded, easily attracting more than 25 million viewers, far surpassing the second game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the NBA playoffs this week, once again demonstrating the power of football.

As soon as Blake Ledger spoke a scene, the studio was instantly flooded with buzzing discussions.

"Yes, number twenty-three, right? He's great, he's really, really great."

"I have to say, it's true that the Crimson Tide is a storm. Shaban has once again trained an excellent running back."

"The ground attack with 55 seconds left in the game was very beautiful, with sudden stops and turns, continuous changes of direction, and head-on collisions. He showed his skills, talent, and wit, which was really impressive."

Praise, one after another -

Who would have thought that a college student would occupy a full 60 seconds of discussion time in the professional league transfer market? And he couldn't stop?
Sure enough, college football always attracts countless attention during the offseason.

Black Ledger was inspired to continue throwing out his own scoops.

"This young player is of Chinese descent, 18 years old, and just started practicing rugby three weeks ago. So far, he is still a little rusty..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words or even say "but". The bustling exclamations were like a volcanic eruption.

"Wait, wait, Chinese?"

"Whoa whoa, hold on to the reins, what did you just say?"

"Three weeks ago? What do you mean I just started playing football three weeks ago?"

"You mean, he's never played football before? He's never played it, but he's always watched it?"

"I haven't had any contact with it, which means I haven't played it or seen it, and I probably don't know the rules."

"Jesus Christ, what is he, an alien?"

"If it's Chinese, then it makes sense. The Asian market still prefers basketball and football. They are probably watching the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets games and have no idea that there is such a player playing in the NCAA."

"What! Chinese?"

"For a moment, I didn't know which piece of news was more shocking, the Chinese players getting involved in rugby three weeks ago, God, this is incredible."

"If you combine it with his performance in yesterday's game, it's even more incredible. God, how did he do it? Did Nick Shaban make a wish to Aladdin's lamp?" In 2019, Chinese-American safety Chi Youjun was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the st pick in the second round of the draft, becoming the highest-ranked Chinese-American player in NFL history, sparking a lot of discussion. It was from that time that the distance between football and the Asian market seemed to have finally broken that layer of window paper.

However, in fact, before Chi Youjun, Asian players had already entered the professional arena one after another.

In 2010, Chinese-American player Wang Kai was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the fifth round of the draft with the th pick. He was also the first NFL player whose parents were both Chinese. Unfortunately, he only played six times as a substitute on the offensive line in his rookie season and was then released by the team.

The most famous and even the greatest Chinese player in history is the legendary safety Patrick Chung of the New England Patriots. This player is a third-generation Chinese immigrant from Jamaica. His grandfather is Chinese and his grandmother is Jamaican. He is more widely known as the Chung family.

Chung entered the league in 2009 and has since won three Super Bowl rings and was selected to the 2010 All-American First Team. He is a very dominant safety.

In addition, Hines-Ward, a wide receiver selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 1998 draft, is known as one of the greatest offensive players in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was elected MVP in the th Super Bowl and left countless brilliant achievements in his career. His father is African American and his mother is Korean.

Roman Gabriel was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the second pick in the 1962 draft. His mother was Irish and his father was Filipino. He was the first Asian player selected in the first round of the NFL. His selection as the regular season MVP in 1969 was a career highlight. He was also one of the best quarterbacks in the s and s.

Of course, the above is still not all.

As of 2016, there have been eleven Asian players in NFL history, each with his or her own story. Although there are many Asian players on the football field, there are not many of them either. Overall, football is still unfamiliar to Asians and participation is not high.

It was in this context that Levi came on the scene and emerged out of nowhere in a way that astonished everyone.

Originally, Black Ledger wanted to be "modest" and not put too much pressure on the young man. After all, it was just a warm-up match so far, and at most one more practice match. If he was eager to praise the young man now, it would be counterproductive. However, he never expected that -

Three weeks of contact rugby.

This one keyword is enough. There is no need to be low-key or picky. Everyone can feel the impact behind this keyword.

Blake Ledger's chest also straightened slightly. "Compared with Derrick Henry, who wrote the legend of the Crimson Tide last season, this young player has a completely different style. I personally think that his template should be Patrick Peterson..."

"Yes, that's right." Before Blackledger could finish his sentence, someone immediately took over.

"I won't go into details about his starting speed, turning ability, etc. Personally, I think his observation and interpretation of defensive formations are not very similar to Peterson's, but exactly the same."

"I was more impressed by his calmness under pressure in important moments than his personal ability. Considering that he had just started playing football three weeks ago, it was incredible to have such a performance in his debut at Bryant-Denny Stadium. We all know how crazy a stadium with 100,000 people can be."

You said something and I said something. ESPN's praise was no less than that of the "Crimson Tide and White Caps", so much so that the introducer Blake Ledger was left out.

A little lonely.

Fortunately, his gaze finally returned to Black Ledger, "What is the name of this young man?"

Black Ledger showed a proud smile, "Levi, his name is Levi. All scouts, team managers, and head coaches, you'd better take out your notebooks and remember this name. You won't want to miss the upcoming new season."

Dear friends, niche rugby really needs everyone's support. One more follow-up reading may change the situation and directly determine life or death. The young man shouted again, follow up reading, follow up reading, follow up reading! Thank you everyone!
