David Long Jr.

Hello. Are you sure about Long's birth date? I see the ESPN site does say 1996, but the Titans site says he's 21, which would make it 1998, which is what our article used to say. I did a quick search but haven't been able to find any other sources. Station1 (talk) 00:36, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

If you scroll down on the titans website it says 1996, i think it's a mistake on their part. He was also a part of the 2015 college football recruiting class which consists of persons born in late 1996/early 1997 so it's unlikely he's born in 1998. If he was born in 1998 he most defenitely had to be a part of the 2017 recruiting class since that's when the players born in late 1998/early 1999 join their respective college teams.

PurplePhos (talk) 13:57, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I didn't notice that date lower down on the Titans site. Station1 (talk) 07:51, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
