Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:58, 31 October 2022 (UTC).

  • Article is new enough (moved to mainspace on Oct. 30), long enough, neutral, is sourced and passes a copyvio check. QPQ pending. However, not every fact in the proposed hook is mentioned in the article (no mention of the "over a span of two days" part). Also, it doesn't seem accurate to say in the hook that he is already "playing in the National Football League", as according to the article it seems he is signed to an NFL team but has not actually made his NFL debut/had any playing time. Perhaps rephrase to say that he was signed to play in the NFL instead? As for the ALT hook, it is mentioned in the article. However, the claim that the missed field goal was "embarrassing" ("He became well-known for an embarrassing moment...") does not have an inline citation at the end of its sentence. Per WP:DYKRULES: "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact."

  • Checklist:
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Prefer the proposed hook over ALT1 as being more interesting and accessible to a general non-American football audience. Bennv123 (talk) 23:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
