• I might just have to review this one. Schwede66 02:09, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
• New expansion; long enough. That said, there is a good article by the NY Times that could be used to expand his early life. Neutral and referenced. Earwig is clear. The hook is interesting enough and referenced; I've added a missing apostrophe. That said, the article needs to spell out that the 1960 American Football League draft was the first draft in the league's history; without that being stated, the article does not fully verify the hook. QPQ has been done. Thus, there's one issue to attend to and then it's all go. Schwede66 02:39, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Revised. Nice username. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Expanded the early life as well. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 03:56, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
      • Apologies for my tardy response; I had completely forgotten to add this nomination to my watchlist. With the amendments, everything is sorted. Schwede66 03:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
