Notes
[edit]- Added jersey numbers and drafts to infobox
- Changed the NFL teams in the infobox to offseason/practice only
- Added Players of Canadian football from Oklahoma and American football defensive backs cats
- The infobox says he was a West all star in 1962 but he is not listed at 1962 CFL season and the StatsCrew ref says it was 1963. Also, this should be noted in the body of the article.
- "Described as one of Oklahoma State's "all-time greats", source just says in the rushing category. So maybe change it to ""all-time great" runners.
- "selected both in the NFL Draft (by the Baltimore Colts, 51st overall) and AFL Draft" add 1962 to both of those. I was going to suggest adding 1962 to the beginning of the sentence instead but the draft actually took place in Dec 1961.
- "He was named an all-star selection in his first season with Ottawa" Change it to East all star or something like that
- "his way to a third all-star selection" Suggest just changing it to say second East all star selection or something like that
- Do you know when he signed with the Colts?
- I suggest expanding his career stats totals somewhat. He did have 19 receiving TDs also.
- What is the Tulsa Knights?
- What's the Oil Bowl Hall of Fame?
- Add his All Star selections to the lead.
That's all I think. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 16:19, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
