Comments

I archived the reference links.
I'm not sure his exact GPA is relevant.
- Removed.
In the infobox, I think games played is enough. Just my opinion tho.
- The first three lineman I can think of each have it (Jason Kelce, Jason Peters, Jackie Slater), so I think it should stay.
You need to clarify his replacement contract was also with the Packers. It is assumed, but not clear.
- Clarified.
Although some projected him as a mid-to-late round pick who? Scouts? Sportswriters?
- The source just says that he was "told he was a potential mid-to-late round pick" - I just stated that he went unselected.
he was at the age of 34 the oldest player on the team --> he was the oldest player on the team at the age of 34
- Changed.
they had their first child later that year, "first" implies more than one. If that isn't know, then just say "they had a child later that year".
- Changed.
Ref spot check: #2, 5, 8, 12, 20, 21

Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jim Hobbins; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article was recently expanded to GA, is long enough and within policy. The hook is interesting and short enough. BeanieFan11, please ping me when you have QPQ done. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:54, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
