I will review this shortly. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Early life

• You mention his father a lot (understandably) but do we know anything about his mother? If you can find her job, you can add it after His father, Orbin Jr., was a police officer for the Bakersfield Police Department
  • I haven't seen anything about his mom other than what is in there right now about her helping to convince him to not quit football. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:50, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
    • His mom worked as an officer for the California Highway Patrol. She took care of Jordan and his three sisters Kami, Emily, and Alexis after Orbin's death. [1] HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:58, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
      • Not thrilled with Sportskeeda as a reliable source. That said, the "In the name of Love" article actually does mention her career. I added it here. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:58, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
• His only scholarship offer came from Utah State The reference doesn't say that. It just says: or earn a scholarship to Utah State.
  • Fixed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:50, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Other

• If you're interested, Ronika Stone might qualify for a Wikipedia article given her collegiate accomplishments [2]
  • That's why I red linked it, but volleyball isn't my cup of tea for writing articles. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:50, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

HickoryOughtShirt?4, did you have any other comments? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:48, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Ya, I just like to split them up so people don't get overwhelmed. I am a bit busy today but I will add more soon. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:41, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

No worries, thanks. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:55, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

HickoryOughtShirt?4, I have a number of GAs under my belt and have done a ton of reviews. If you are ok with it, I would prefer to just have all your comments to address at once, instead of splitting them up. I am fine to wait for you to complete your full review and then address any comments. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Ya, of course sorry. I felt bad not being to get it all done in one go. If you don't mind waiting a couple days, I can get it all done at once. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Yep, no rush :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Review cont.

• It's crazy that a rookie can sign for a $12.3 million with a signing bonus of over $6.5 million! That's more than Connor McDavid.
• It was the first time a quarterback received a fully guaranteed contract since the rookie pay scale was changed. The reference doesn't say this. It says: It's the first time the No. 26 pick has received a fully guaranteed deal under the current rookie contract system. It's interesting but I find it funny how specific this "first" is.
• Just an option, you don't have to, but it may be a good idea to explain why Love jumped to Number 2. I assumed it was because Boyle left/was injured but it looks like it was also bc Rogers didn't report for offseason workouts.
• replacing Aaron Rodgers don't need his first name here.
• Love relieved Aaron Rodgers please remove the Wikilink and his first name
• The Packers would finish the year 8–9, missing the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. - The reference says The Packers (8-9) missed the playoffs for the first time in Matt LaFleur's four seasons as coach. So wouldn't it be four seasons?
• the Packers completed a trade sending Aaron Rodgers to New York for draft picks please remove the Wikilink and his first name
• third different quarterback to start week 1, I think week should be capitalized here
  • HickoryOughtShirt?4 I believe I have addressed all your comments in these edits. Thanks. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:25, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
