Hi BeanieFan11, I'll take a look at this one. Article was created 31 July and is of sufficient length (even when taking account of the quotations); I am not familiar with American football sources but happy to AGF that they are acceptable; hook is interesting (I would go with ALT1 personally, as I think it is important to specify the sport), mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; nominator has only one previous DYK so is exempt form QPQ requirement. Good little article. My only comments are that you need to provide a source for his 2011 death and the items stated in the infobox which aren't mentioned in the article - Dumelow (talk) 09:50, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Dumelow. For the items in the infobox not cited, height & weight, I don't think they need a citation unless that information is disputed (They are listed in profootballarchives.com). For the date of death, I found one ref, this, and will cite it. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

No problem, I can't say I've come across too many American football articles so happy to AGF that that is the accepted standard; likewise on his notability - Dumelow (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
