• New and interesting. Correct inline citations and well written. I like the hook, but it may be better with and ending of ....played four seasons in the NFL? Up to you because I can approve the hook as it is written. The only hold up is the QPQ. Bruxton (talk) 20:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

@Bruxton: QPQ is now complete. I though referring to the Los Angeles Rams was a bit more interesting that the more generic NFL reference, but I'm fine with either of the variations. Cbl62 (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

@Cbl62: True, and they did just win the Superbowl! Bruxton (talk) 21:04, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
