Early life and high school
✅ ✅
 * Add Campbell's birth date into this section
 * Remove the second mention of Barry Switzer being the Oklahoma Sooners head coach and dewikilink that mention since he is mentioned shortly before that particular sentence.

College career
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Yes, clarified That's the common terminology, so I think it's better as is. Although I just noticed I forgot to cite that, so cited now.
 * "In 1975 he" - missing a comma
 * Spell out AFCA in full
 * "Leg injuries kept him out of four games his junior season," - Leg injuries kept him out of four games during his junior season,
 * "against Rice" - I think against the Rice Owls is better
 * "in a 57–28 victory over rival Texas A&M as Texas finished the season undefeated." - With the second mention of Texas, do you mean the Longhorns?
 * "He also won the Chic Harley Award and was a unanimous All-American," - All-American player?

Houston Oilers
✅ ✅ Removed it altogether. I thought the same when I wrote it, but couldn't think of anything better. The source uses "too much pounding" which probably isn't any better. ✅ Diddo The 2016 season hasn't started yet, so yes, it remains true.
 * Most Valuable Player should have the acronyms in parentheses on its first mention
 * "cut short due to wear and tear." - I think wear and tear should be replace with more formal wording
 * The last section of the fourth paragraph is unreferenced
 * "In 1984, under new head coach Hugh Campbell, Houston started the season with six straight losses." - ditto
 * "He had four games of over 200 rushing yards, a single-season record that still stands as of the end of the 2015 season." - Is this still the case as of 2016?

New Orelans Saints
✅ ✅ ✅
 * Remove duplicate link of Bum Phillips
 * "and continued to have a diminished role in the offense through the rest of the season." - throughout
 * The last section of the first paragraph has no references

Legacy and honors
✅
 * Remove duplicate links of O. J. Simpson, The Sporting News and Tyler, Texas
