... that Heisman Trophy winner Larry Kelley turned down an offer to play professional football to become a school teacher?
- Reviewed: Bronco Charlie Miller

5x expanded by Cbl62 (talk). Self-nominated at 07:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article is a 5x expansion and is sourced throughout. He turned down pro ball, very curious to us, interesting enough for a hook, and supported inline with citations. Article appears to be written neutrally, QPQ is provided. Only real comment about content that I have is that "he" shouldn't lead a paragraph, you should change those to his last name. Good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:57, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Another thought, the article says he turned down basketball and baseball offers too (though it doesn't say what baseball team). Maybe...
