The Beast Running Back (RB). From mixed martial arts to football, from an obscure rookie to a superstar sweeping the league, from an outsider who knew nothing to a terrifying beast... He left numerous legends on this field and became a myth that changed the sport, yet at the beginning of the story, the creator of all these legends claimed innocently, Football, what’s that?

Everybody knows that athletic sports require talent.
But in fact, talent is just the threshold. Every player who can enter the Professional League is a genius. Don't think they seem like rookies on the professional field; actually, without exception, they are all geniuses—major geniuses, minor geniuses, once-in-a-decade geniuses, once-in-a-century geniuses.
A bunch of freaks.
If you want to stand out, hard work and struggle are the only ways.
Success is made of ninety-nine percent perspiration plus one percent inspiration. Usually, the one percent of inspiration is the most important; however, the threshold of the profession has already filtered out that one percent of inspiration, leaving the remainder to depend on the ninety-nine percent of perspiration, depending on who knows what Los Angeles looks like early in the morning.
