... that American football placekicker Lou Groza laid down a piece of tape to line up field goals before it was outlawed by the Lou Groza Rule in 1950?

I don't think a QPQ is required. All images have fair use rationales. Article is fully supported by inline citations. Article is neutral enough. DYK tool says no but manual check says: 505 starting size x 5 = 2,525. Existing words: 2,530. Long enough at time of nomination. Hook is properly formatted. Hooked fact found in article and supported by citations.
