Meant to say 5x expanded. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed this for you, but this does need a QPQ.--Laun chba ller 22:48, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a review but rather a comment, but I have some concerns about the hook. American football isn't that popular internationally, meaning the hook as currently written might have a limited appeal especially if non-American readers are unfamiliar with gridiron positions. Per WP:DYKHOOKSTYLE a more understandable hook may be needed here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- People don't need to know what the positions actually mean; it's very clear that he was moved around a lot. Those who understand the concept of sports positions will understand that much, and that it's not typical. Reviewer still needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:47, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unless a QPQ is provided BeanieFan11 this nomination will be rejected. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:20, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- QPQ done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:41, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Full review needed now that QPQ has been provided. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral with all reliable sources. The hook is directly cited. I assume good faith on the paid subscription source. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 08:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
