Will review soon. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe change stint in lead to "short offseason stint".
Added a cat.
Link training camp.
"Famed offensive line coach Joe Moore" Does the source actually say that. I can't see the clipping.

I didn't any other issues. Nice work. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:02, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: Linked training camp and changed the lead. As for Moore, the source mentions that "[Moore] earned a reputation as one of the best line coaches in NCAA history" – do you think the way I worded it is alright or should I change it?

... that the football career of Mathias Nkwenti, the second-ever Cameroonian to make the NFL, was initially opposed by his parents?

Source: The Montgomery Advertiser (paywalled) ("At first, they didn't want me to play because they didn't know anything about American football. All they knew is you could get hurt ... I had to do some persuading. They finally just gave in and said play it at your own risk") / PFR (second Cameroonian listed)
