Comments

the 1986 NFL draft, but was released on August 18, 1986 comma isn't needed
He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on February 5, 1987, but then was released by them on May 8, 1987. comma isn't needed and I would drop "then"
initially returned in 1988, but was released on July 19, 1989, do you mean July 19, 1988?
- "initially returned" should have said "in 1989".
Multiple sources mention that he was signed by the Packers because of his leg strength and ability to consistently kick-off for touchbacks. I think this should be added.
References:
- All appear consistently formatted and reliable for what is being cited
- Will you go through and remove duplicate inline citations in consecutive sentences?
- Spot checks: within only 9 references, I checked them all.
