1001 ready
"Then it depends on whether our Mr. Archie's vision is accurate."
Griffin joked, but Lu Yiqi was completely calm and calm. His mysterious expression showed unshakable strong confidence, which made Griffin's mouth rise up.
"So far, after leaving the bustling area, our work has been progressing very well. We have successfully signed eleven players and finally got rid of the difficulties of agents with more than signing players. The plan is being carried out step by step."
Griffin briefly reported on his work, allowing Lu Yiqi to understand the situation of the vision blueprint, but Lu Yiqi is not very interested in the company's situation. He is more concerned about the overall situation of the entire rookie player, and the potential impact on the Green Bay Packers this year, next year and in the future.
First of all, the players who are about to make an appearance in 2009.
As expected, the players who were worthy of attention in the first five rounds of the first three rounds have basically found their agents, and Griffin had no gaps at all. In particular, what made Griffin resented was Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman.
Last season, Freeman was reborn in Lu Yiqi's hands and seemed to have finally found his own way of playing. Although he was not a top-notch star player, he was still the main quarterback who won all the wins and won the All-American Championship. This also won numerous attention, and there were also many agents coming to the door.
But surprisingly, Freeman never signed a contract agent. Griffin was quite surprised at the time. Although Lu Yiqi did not include Freeman's name, Griffin still went to Manhattan, Kansas to visit, but returned angrily.
"Freman's father, is he an idiot?" Griffin finally knew why Lu Yiqi removed Freeman.
With Freeman's talent and ability, he does not have the qualifications to become an excellent quarterback. It is already the best state to enter the league and become an average-level system. However, Freeman's father is not self-aware. He insists that his son can become a top quarterback like Michael Vick. The conditions listed are whimsical and scare away a series of agents.
Even though Griffin appeared in the name of Lu Yiqi, he was still frightened by the madness and wantonness of the Mr. Lion, who had a huge confidence, spoke.
Lu Yiqi was not surprised at all. After Freeman rejected the invitation from other prestigious schools because his father firmly believed that his son could become a top quarterback, he chose Kansas State University and then won the All-American Championship? I guess he became even more arrogant.
After giving up Freeman simply and neatly? Griffin successfully signed Julian Edelman.
This young quarterback who is still in the second division is completely indifferent and has not even received any invitation to tryouts? So when Griffin came to visit? Edelman's first reaction was a "scammer", which made Griffin both funny and sad.
After spending some effort to prove his qualifications, Griffin signed Edelman without any suspense. Although Edelman never understood why Griffin signed himself, Griffin did not tell Edelman that Lu Yiqi was standing behind the scenes to control all this.
"What should I do with the draft?" Griffin was responsible for signing the contract? But Edelman was determined to become a quarterback? He was also in a dilemma without a tryout invitation.
Lu Yiqi was not surprised. Everyone has their own persistence and pride. Although Edelman has the ability to become a top slot wide receiver and a wide receiver on both sides? But if his own mentality cannot be changed? Then they cannot force the cow to drink water. "Just follow his ideas. If you try it out, just tell him that it is not possible. There is no need for special treatment."
Only by facing reality can you truly see your position, otherwise? Other people’s advice is useless.
The second is the players who will participate in the draft in 2010 and 2011.
These players are mainly sophomore and junior, and their attention and liveliness have dropped by a level. Although the Hope Stars have surfaced one after another, there are still a few who have officially signed agents? This has also become the focus of Griffin's work? And many breakthroughs have been successfully made.
In terms of the offensive team? wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown, offensive tackle Trent Williams, and tight end Jimmy Graham all successfully became players of the visionary blueprint.
The entire league has entered the era of passing and offensive, which has also made the value of offensive players increase, and there are naturally more competitors around them. This has also increased the difficulty of promoting Griffin's work - after all, Lu Yiqi has not led the team to the Super Bowl before, and his reputation and popularity are not enough. Griffin cannot borrow Lu Yiqi's name to promote his work, and there are many difficulties.
Among them, the easiest signing is Antonio Brown and Jimmy Graham.
The former is like Edelman. Now he is in the second-level division and has no exposure index at all. Griffin is the first agent to come to the door. Moreover, unlike Lu Yiqi expected, Brown, who still believes that dreaming, is not picky at all, and does not have the attitude of offending the entire league later. Griffin successfully completed the signing without spending any effort.
The latter is due to the position of the court. The tight end is now positioned relatively low-end, and it lags behind the wide receivers and running backs in the offensive group. It is just better than the offensive front line. Scouts and agents did not expect that this tight end will completely change the offensive tactics of the entire league, which has also become an opportunity for Griffin to take advantage of loopholes.
Emmanuel and Trent have more or less won attention, especially Trent, who is also quite popular as the main offensive tackle at the University of Oklahoma. Griffin met many competitors and finally completed the signing after a long work.
In the defensive team, because the competition is relatively less intense, Griffin's work is a little easier and he eventually achieved gratifying results.
Linebacker Navorro Bowman and defensive end Keno Atkins, two future Hall of Fame-level defensive players, were undoubtedly the biggest surprise, because they are not blue-collar players, but superstars who can sign top contracts, which is a super good news for the Vision Blueprint.
