The RV parked on the side of the road, and outside the window, you can see the dark yellow Gobi desert extending far away. A stubborn cactus stands alone and stubbornly between the wide world. The layers of mountains in the distance spread from shallow to deep to the horizon like ink paintings. The cloudless sky presents a clear to almost transparent blue. The gorgeous golden sunlight completely blurs the boundary between the sky and the earth.

Broad, broad, boundless, infinite.

There is obviously no magnificent scene, but my mind suddenly opens up. I stand in front of the vastness of nature and examine my own insignificance. I temporarily forget the splendor of the spotlight and the noisy cheers, and regain my humility in my heart, and then my impetuous mentality calms down.

Lu Yiqi and the other two sat in front of the car window, with music flowing in their ears, enjoying the scenery of nature and enjoying the wonderful time of lunch.

"Coach, the list of attendees at this training camp has been sorted out. Do you need to take a look?" Walker just completed the work assigned by Lu Yiqi in the morning, just like a student handing in his homework. He hoped that Lu Yiqi could give his homework score and then discuss the homework content in depth.

The so-called NFL offseason actually has only about two to four weeks off, and then the major training camps began one after another.

The training camps, the organizers include different universities, different teams, league officials, different sponsors, different states, etc. The Manning Brothers later held quarterback training camps under their own name. The operation methods of these training camps are similar. The organizers send out invitation letters to invite university players to participate in the training camp. At the same time, scouts and coaches from major teams will also attend the venue to inspect and talk to university players.

Among them, the league's official training camp is of special significance and can be understood as a "college entrance examination".

The league will list a list through previous training camps and past season performances, and then issue 300 to 350 invitations to invite players participating in the draft to arrive in Indianapolis to participate in the official training camp.

The Indianapolis training camp is already a live broadcast across the United States through TV stations. Rookies will receive physical tests and training here. All 32 teams in the league will attend, from management to team doctors? The entire team will appear at the training camp for on-site inspection.

Physical test results will also be the last reference standard for the draft.

So? Can rookie players refuse to attend training camp?

Can.

From a theoretical perspective, is the answer yes? Even Indianapolis training camp can be rejected? The official does not require it.

However, training camp is a platform to show itself? In addition to NCAA games, further prove yourself, take the test, and bear the attention? Absent from such occasions will inevitably lead to many speculations. It may even affect the draft results, but no matter what the result is, the players will bear.

Very few players will refuse Indianapolis training camp, but in real life, do players refuse? And many.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

One possibility is that the player happened to suffer an injury and it was difficult to show good results even when he went to the training camp, so he simply concealed his injuries and avoided them and spoke through his past results.

Another possibility is that the players' mentality is unbalanced? The Indianapolis training camp is definitely a big focus, and many players may perform poorly on the spot? So they rejected Indianapolis and chose to appear in the training camp at their alma mater or the team training camp they are familiar with? Ensure that they perform at their best.

Such things.

But what is certain is that no matter what? Players participating in the draft must choose some training camps to participate in the offseason? Otherwise, the prospects of the draft will inevitably be worrying.

As for what training camp should I choose? This is also a matter of particularity - the agent or coach must give correct opinions, which is why Griffin asked Lu Yiqi how to arrange Edelman's training camp.

Some training camps are divided according to location, such as quarterback training camps, such as wide receivers and running back training camps; some training camps simulate the physical test mode of Indianapolis training camps, providing a simulation test environment for rookies; and some training camps are well-known, such as the USC training camp where Lu Yiqi is heading to.

USC is originally a traditional football school in NCAA. The current head coach is Peter Carroll. Later, the famous coach who established the "Blasting Legion" glory in the Seattle Seahawks. From 2006 to 2008, he led USC to complete the Rose Bowl three consecutive championships. He only lost five games in the past three seasons and is still in the best period of his career.

It is worth mentioning that later Pete Carroll became the third coach in history to win both the NCAA National Championship and the NFL Super Bowl Championship - another coach after Lu Yiqi to achieve such a feat.

At the same time, the University of Southern California has a long history and the habit of holding training camps has a long history. From equipment to process to connections, including supporting facilities for scouts and coaches to arrange accommodation, etc., it is all one of the best training camps in the league, which can naturally attract a large number of rookie players.

It is precisely because of this that when the team chooses training camp, USC is often the favorite of scouts and coaches.

Every time I go to a training camp, some preparations must be completed. The most important one is the trial roster. This training camp includes players, positions, potential players, which ones are suitable for your team, and which ones are secondary but still worth paying attention to.

The homework assigned by Lu Yiqi to Walker is to organize the trial roster, and then list the players worth paying attention to according to the needs of Green Bay Packers, and then list the list of players worth paying attention in order of priority. The most complicated part is to sort out the advantages and disadvantages of players based on NCAA's game data and scout reports, as well as the parts that need to be carefully examined.

This is a very boring and arduous data assignment, but it is also the most important analysis link in the draft.

For Walker, he is already familiar with it. Over the past season, he has followed Lu Yiqi to analyze game videos and tactical manuals, which is basically his daily life.

"Hmm, tell me." Lu Yiqi expressed his affirmation with a gentle hue.

Walker's expression immediately became bright, just like a student who couldn't wait to show his achievements. "I have compiled a list of forty-three people to observe, including twenty people in the offensive group and twenty-three people in the defensive group..."
