Instead of mentioning Reaves is an enforcer in the St. Louis section would anyone object to putting it in the lead? For Matt Martin (ice hockey, born 1989) it says in the lead " In the NHL, Martin has been described as both an enforcer and a grinder." so why can't Reaves say something similar to that too?

He has mentioned Bass Reeves as his grandfather at least twice. Based on my research, this appears to be a family story and nothing more. His family in Flagstaff, Arizona appears to have descended from a John Reaves from North Carolina, not Bass Reeves from Arkansas/Texas. Looking for guidance on how this should be mentioned/modified.
