... ~~that Jeff Feagles is the NFL's career leader in punting yards with over 70,000?~~ Source: https://www.espn.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5151319
- ALT1: ... ~~that Sam Koch has the most career punting yards for an individual team, having over 50,000 with the Baltimore Ravens?~~ Source: https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/baltimore-ravens/leaders/career-punting-yards

- Comment: Would prefer this to be run on Sept. 8 (beginning of 2022 NFL season) or Sept. 11 (first Sunday of the season when most Week 1 NFL games will be played). If that's not possible, that's okay with me.

2 cents. The proposed hooks will divert the vast majority of hits to Feagles or Koch. My suggestion is: alt 2 ... that the National Football League record for career punting yards is more than 41 miles (65 kilometers)? (Feagles holds the record with 71,211 yards --> 41.08 miles/65.11 kilometers) IMO that's more likely to draw hits. Cbl62 (talk) 16:31, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
- I do like that as an ALT2. Would go with that one if others think it's better than the ALT0 and ALT1. Soulbust (talk) 04:45, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
