General comments I did a light copyedit. Here were some of the main things I changed:


 * Adding commas to leading dependent clauses (e.g. "At Michigan, he set...")


 * Changing passive voice to active voice (e.g. "...he was named Sun-Sentinel Offensive Player of the Year..." -> "...the Sun-Sentinel named him Offensive Player of the Year...").


 * Added links to some terms that might be unfamiliar to a layman or foreign reader (e.g. icing the kicker).


 * Added non-breaking spaces after numbers of things (e.g. "63 career field goals"), but I don't think this is required for a GA.


 * Numbers that can either be written as a single word or that are less than two digits should be written out as a word. Whichever rule of thumb is used, numbers like four and seven should be written out in most cases.


 * Removed a few redundancies (e.g. "He was activated to replace the injured Jason Hanson who was suffering from a hamstring injury")


 * Past perfect tense should be used sparingly, mostly when it is not clear from context that something occurred prior to something else.

If you disagree with any of my changes, please change them back and we can discuss. Aside from those minor issues, which I believe are now fixed, I think the article meets the GA criteria, and am passing it. Strikehold (talk) 01:54, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
