 Working I will aim to post a complete review within the next couple of days. –Grondemar 18:14, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

One early comment based on my first read-through: what ended up happening to him for the upcoming season? Did he eventually make it to an NFL training camp; did he sign with a UFL team; is he out of football entirely? I did a Google search but wasn't able to find anything. –Grondemar 18:24, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I think his career is over. At least I have been unable to document any signing. I think he retains permanent notability despite never playing professionally.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:32, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I completed my review and have the following concerns, in addition to the one above:

• Under High school career, why is All-State in italics?
  • Probably an artifact from a prior editor.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:34, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
• It would be nice to add a little more about his recruiting. Did he consider any other schools before selecting Michigan?
  • According to current refs 4 & 5 he had no interest in other schools.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:53, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
    • I added a sentence to that effect with the references you mentioned. –Grondemar 03:40, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
• I added a sentence to the Junior year (2007) section: "He would miss the entire 2007 season recovering from his injuries; by making use of a redshirt year, however, he was able to not use up a year of eligibility." I'm pretty sure this is accurate and fills a gap in the narrative; could you find a source for this however?
  • The next section starts with a ref for the fact that he was still recovering during the following Spring. I just moved that one to your cn tag.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:46, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
• Do you have statistics for Kevin Grady's senior season?
  • Added stats to prose.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
