Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 161 160 Full of Fighting Spirit

The laughter was hearty, and the man with the explosive hairstyle enthusiastically introduced himself, all the while turning to show the back of his jersey―

Normally, there should have been a name on it, but the problem was, he was wearing a baseball jacket.

"Hawkins?" Li Wei read the name on the jacket. "I thought you were Mahomes."

Mahomes was startled, looked down, and realized, "Ah, I forgot, this is my godfather LaTroy-Hawkins's jacket. I hope it brings some good luck; he used to be an MLB player, playing for the Minnesota Twins along with my father."

Li Wei nodded lightly, "So, you didn't choose to play baseball?"

Mahomes scratched his head, "In high school, I played both baseball and football, but in the end, I chose football. Just like you. But I can't compare to you; we all suspect you're from another planet. Haha."

"Me?" Li Wei was taken aback.

Mahomes flashed a shy smile, "Now in the NCAA, who doesn't know you? I saw the nationwide championship, the final moments were truly amazing. I can't do that; I definitely can't do that, I still have so much to learn."

"Not being able to do it now doesn't mean it can't be done later. We're just college students, right?" Li Wei showed a smile, looking at Mahomes.

Mahomes was a bit startled, then nodded, nodding vigorously, "Of course, of course!" As he spoke, he began clenching his fists involuntarily.

Mahomes's high school and college didn't show exceptional talent, although he performed well, his talents didn't shine, so his college was very ordinary—Texas Tech University, part of the Big Twelve Conference, but not a traditional powerhouse.

The just-ended season saw Mahomes perform very impressively, yet he couldn't carry his team forward, and Texas Tech University ended the season with only six wins and seven losses, which is just mediocre in the NCAA.

Heisman Trophy?

It never even included Mahomes in the discussions.

As of now, professionals generally predict that Mahomes might be a second-round pick, with a slight hope of being picked in the first round—

There's no way around it, this year the quarterbacks are in low demand, as most teams are targeting the defensive group.

In this moment, facing Li Wei, who had performed amazingly last season and swept the awards, Mahomes couldn't help but feel nervous, but sensing Li Wei's approachability, his mood brightened.

"Sorry, I forgot to properly introduce myself, Li Wei, running back."

Friendly, calm, genuine.

A body cut across, a mountain of flesh stood in front of Li Wei and Mahomes, taller and more muscular than them—actually, the difference wasn't that big, but the other guy still looked down from a tale of giants as if he was gazing at ants, peering at Li Wei with his nostrils.

"So, you're Li Wei?"

"The only Asian face here, definitely can't be wrong."

"You... just like this? Seem so fragile, like I could snap you with a little pinch, you sure that's no problem?"

His face full of provocation.

Mahomes was about to step forward, but Li Wei beat him to it, "Why not give it a try?"

Casual and smiling, he faced the challenging gaze with a smile, not only unflustered but also with an adult's demeanor as if watching a child throw a tantrum on the floor, not nervous even under the scrutinizing gaze all around him.

The other was about to speak, but Li Wei deftly used his interrupting skills.

"If you still think football is about who is bigger, taller, or stronger, I think you better not attend the draft, to avoid embarrassing yourself."

Pffft, hahaha.

Laughter erupted all around.

The muscular man's face darkened, full of embarrassment and anger. He was about to speak again, but another figure rushed from the side, grabbing him and swiftly leaving.

"God, Solomon, what are you doing!"

"Sorry, Li Wei, really sorry, Solomon didn't mean anything by it."

"You are really great, I loved your performance in that game against Louisiana State, amazing!"

As he spoke, he moved away, and with a swoosh of wind, disappeared from sight.

Li Wei didn't even have time to respond, but he could recognize the figure fading into the distance—

Christian McCaffrey.

One of the top three running backs in this year's NCAA, although Li Wei didn't remember the name, he still recognized the face.

So, who was that guy before?
