Alex Carroll
[edit]- ... that Canadian football player Alex Carroll went on to be named a first-team all-star wide receiver in college after tearing the ACL and both menisci in his knee?

- Comment: This should be held until at least September 15th due to the recent series of injury hooks. We don't want to group too many together.

Article is new enough and long enough. Article appears to be reliably sourced, no plagiarism/close paraphrasing visible. No BLP or NPOV violations visible either. Hook longish but acceptable, I did fix a typo. I'd consider it interesting enough and appears to be properly sourced. QPQ is done. Two issues: Where does the information in the infobox (weight and such) come from and #7 is either not working well for me or it doesn't support the statement it's supporting.

- @Jo-Jo Eumerus: For 7, you must click through either to "Text" or "PDF" to see depth charts for each week. As Carroll shows up on the depth chart for the first time on July 10, that was his debut. I was unable to locate an article that verified the same information, unfortunately, and linking to the "Depth Charts" page makes more sense than linking to multiple individual depth charts. I've updated the citation to include an explanation of where to find the information to prevent confusion. For the infobox, it comes from the CFL stats page linked at the bottom. ~ RobTalk 21:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
OK, enough with the procrastinaton from me. Rechecking these fixed sources, they all seem to be correct now. Nothing else in this article has changed, so I can give this the go ahead.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:19, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
