7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Iowa Barnstormers/New York Dragons. Given there's an article for the Iowa Barnstormers and the New York Dragons, should there be links to both? (Current link sends the reader just to the article on the Barnstormers.)
• where he was a third-team All-American as a junior in 1994.. Could link junior and change the All-American link to All-America college football team.
• in St. Louis Missouri. – change to "St. Louis, Missouri".
• at Riverview Gardens High School in St. Louis – is there a link for his high school?
• Could link freshman.
• Should his college stints at Triton and Harper be mentioned in the lead and/or included in the infobox?
• Could link field goals and include the proper link to All-America college football team when you mention All-American in the early life section.
• On June 26 in his first game with the Barnstormers, he made a game-winning 21-yard field goal to help Iowa beat the Albany Firebirds by a score of 77–76. Should there be a comma after "June 26"?
• recording 16 of 28 field goals, 99 of 105 extra points, four solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and one fumble recovery as the Barnstormers finished the season with a 9–5 record – maybe "converting 16 of 28 field goals"? Something sounds off about "recording 16 of 28 field goals". Could also link tackles.
  • I know. I already said converting a lot in the article though.
    • Fair enough.
• His field goal percentage of 57.1% was best in the league? Wow.
  • See Jorge Cimadevilla for some more context on that: "Cimadevilla, who was the AFL's all-time leading scorer at the time, was booed by Kats fans after going zero for four on field goals in a 1997 preseason game despite also making seven of seven extra points, with Cimadevilla stating "I expect to hear boos... especially in a new city that doesn't understand this game. They [fans] tend to forget the uprights are only 9 feet wide and they're expecting you to make, if not everything, a lot."[15] The Tennessean noted that the AFL field goal average was only 41% in 1996.[15]"
• Could link injured reserve.
• Maybe add a comma after with head coach Kevin Porter stating.
• Add citation after The AFL folded after the 2008 season.
• Maybe add some career stats after the AFL folding statement?
• Spot check pending. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:26, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
  • Refs 3, 4, 6, 15, & 26 all verified (I had to log in to my Newspapers.com account to view them because now they paywall all the clippings...). Everything looks good now. I'll promote. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:48, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
