I am afraid to say that despite the efforts of the nominator in expanding this article, this GA review will have to be quick failed due to numerous failures to comply with the relevant criteria at GA. In this case of this particular article, I noted several problems which stand in its way of achieving GA status at this time.

The primary issue is that the entry is under-referenced in both the prose and the career statistics tables, with several entire paragraphs and sentences lacking a single reference. Some of the prose in the article is messy, non-neutral, informal and inconsistent with a plethora of MOS guidelines, such as using the subject's first name, which is against MOS:SURNAME and using contractions in violation of MOS:CONTRACTION. Furthermore three of the references are incorrectly formatted as bare urls that are susceptible to link rot and lack the author(s) (if any), the date it was published and the date it was accessed. There are also several; instances of one-line paragraphs, something which is discouraged at both GAN and FAC. There is also no mention about the family of the subject, and how he got into playing American football.

It appears that the only edits the nominator has made to the article is by posting an error at the top of the page and nothing to improve the article. This article has quite a long way before it can be considered ready for GAN and will require a large amount of work to get it to that level. I also suggest that the nominator get familiar with Wikipedia and its guidelines since they have only a small number of edits. MWright96 (talk) 14:15, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
