... that over a span of two days, Nick Sciba went from working in the fish market to playing in the National Football League? Source: TribLive
ALT1: ... that Nick Sciba responded to an embarrassing missed field goal by setting the all-time college football record for consecutive kicks made? Source: The State (p2)
Article is new enough (moved to mainspace on Oct. 30), long enough, neutral, is sourced and passes a copyvio check. QPQ pending. However, not every fact in the proposed hook is mentioned in the article (no mention of the "over a span of two days" part). Also, it doesn't seem accurate to say in the hook that he is already "playing in the National Football League", as according to the article it seems he is signed to an NFL team but has not actually made his NFL debut/had any playing time. Perhaps rephrase to say that he was signed to play in the NFL instead? As for the ALT hook, it is mentioned in the article. However, the claim that the missed field goal was "embarrassing" ("He became well-known for an embarrassing moment...") does not have an inline citation at the end of its sentence. Per WP:DYKRULES: "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact."

Overall: Prefer the proposed hook over ALT1 as being more interesting and accessible to a general non-American football audience. Bennv123 (talk) 23:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
