List of Connecticut Huskies in the NFL Draft

 * Nominator(s): –Grondemar 05:30, 22 September 2015 (UTC) & Robert4565 (talk)

After 3.5 years away from Wikipedia, I'm back at FLC with another UConn-themed list: List of Connecticut Huskies in the NFL Draft. I'd like to thank User:Robert4565 for pulling together this list in 2014; I added prose I had left in my userspace from 2012 as well as new prose, and cleaned up the list with high-quality references. I based the list restructure on the existing college team in the NFL Draft featured lists, as well as List of Connecticut Huskies in the WNBA Draft.

I believe this candidate fully meets the featured list criteria. Please review and concur if you agree. –Grondemar 05:30, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I do too. Robert4565 (talk) 12:14, 23 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I believe the key needs to be split into three two-column tables and have column headings added to be accessible. Thisisnotatest (talk) 09:04, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look and try to fix it this afternoon. –Grondemar 15:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * After further consideration I decided to remove the key entirely and to incorporate the full name of the positions and links directly in the main list, more similar to List of Connecticut Huskies in the WNBA Draft than the previous NFL Draft FLs. This avoids the challenge of making the key table accessible; it also should make it easier for the reader to go to pages describing the positions without having to scroll up to the key. –Grondemar 00:26, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed, that solves the issue. I've struck out my comment. Thisisnotatest (talk) 00:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! –Grondemar 00:50, 27 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Support – I quickly checked in on a commercial break during the game tonight and saw that my few piddling concerns have been resolved, so I'm happy to support now. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Support – An engaging and well written lead section; comprehensive, well referenced, and well formatted lists; nice use and placement of images. Drdpw (talk) 06:35, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Comments Looks good otherwise. NapHit (talk) 09:15, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * "This led to a massive bidding war..." massive seems a bit POV and sensationalist, perhaps just remove it and have bidding war
 * "Beginning in 2005 and continuing through 2015... " comma after 2015
 * "The most Connecticut players to be selected in a single NFL Draft were five" were should be was

, all the above are now fixed. Thanks for your review. –Grondemar 00:44, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Happy to support now. Great work. NapHit (talk) 10:11, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
