Overall: Man, he was tough. Article is new and long enough (having been just expanded 5x). Sourced and neutral. No plagiarism detected. Hooks are cited, mentioned in the article, and are interesting (I like ALT1 best, although it might be better if changed to "still turned up for football practice"). QPQ done. Nice work, this is good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:19, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: thanks very much for the review (and the suggestion)! I've amended the hook accordingly. —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:22, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
