I am going to review this article when I first log in tomorrow. Thanks Secretaccount 06:24, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Only a few minor issues I found with the article.
Any major achievements in high school or college other than " Syracuse All-Century team"? Was he a top recruit?
14th round is kinda low, even in 1970 standards? Any information why he was drafted that low, considering he was a member of his college "All-Century" team? Any injuries or such?
Did the illness was the reason why he only played four games in 1973? The type of illness would be useful also.
Did he retire because of the injury?
Why was him benched by his head coach with four other starters?
Considering the subject area, I think it's better to resource the blind side book, as it's clearly not about Walters, and nothing in common other then being related to American football to another source
Citation 24 needs to be removed, as it only discusses that Walters moved to England, and the rest of the sentence isn't verified in that cite. Citation 2 is fine with the sentence.
The Ira Berkow citation states that Walters majored in business at Syracuse, while Mulligan states history. Can you find a second source stating which major is correct? If you still find conflicting sources, use the oldest source like Berkow.
I see some sources in Google Books that haven't been used, but it seems like passing mentions so far, also there's a illusionist under the same name that seems like he meets WP:BIO also, so the page could be moved to Stan Walters (American football). Other than that, if you can't find extra information I understand considering it's a 1980s lineman. Thanks Secretaccount 06:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to address your concerns. I don't really see why The Blind Side is not a good reference. The book is not only Michael Oher's story, as it also focuses on many other aspects of being an NFL offensive lineman with anecdotes from former players.
