He was brothers with NFL center Rob Monaco. I am assuming he is still a brother to Rob, so change to present tense
- @Gonzo fan2007: Rob died in 2016, should I still change it? BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:56, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ron Monaco; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ pending, Beaniefan11. The quoted article uses "longest of the NFL long shots" in its headline, so that'll have to be rectified in hook fact. The details in the hook fact check out, though. Once QPQ and the actual headline quote are fixed, this will be ready. (Gonna leave a suggestion here: check the page numbers and replace sequential ones with the actual number-section, e.g. p. 45 to p. 1-D.)

    - @Sammi Brie: QPQ added; apologies for the delay. As for the hook, are you suggesting something like: ALT1 ... that Ron Monaco, described in a newspaper headline as the "longest of ... long shots", made a National Football League team and became a starter despite having been just a backup in college?
