Comments

• He decided to return to the sport in 1986-->He decided to return to football in 1986
• He was also used as a placekicker at Sauk Prairie (you could also probably combine this with the previous sentence using a semi-colon
• Is "wrist-wrestling" different than "arm-wrestling"?
  • Apparently.
• watched football and television "on telelvision"
• needing a player at the positions "at those positions"
• as a replacement, to play guard. comma isn't needed
• ...with an ankle injury, and he was released... split into two sentences
• References:
  • All appear consistently formatted and reliable for what is being cited
  • Spot checks: with only 9 sources, I checked them all

• ... that Greg Jensen played in the NFL after he watched a game on television and thought "I can do that"?

• Source: Schultz, Rob (March 26, 1987). "Off the cow field and into the NFL". The Capital Times. p. 21, 26 – via Newspapers.com. / PFR (verifying he played in a game)

• • ALT1: ... that before playing in the NFL, Greg Jensen was out of football for six years and was world cow dung throwing champion? Source: same as above
  • ALT2: ... that Greg Jensen went from world cow dung throwing champion to playing in the NFL? Source: same as above
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Julian Yacoub Mourad
  • Comment: To do QPQ within 24 hours. Definitely one of the most unusual NFL stories I've came across.

5x expanded by BeanieFan11 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 352 past nominations.

• Promoted to GA status on April 28 and nominated here 4 days later. The article is long enough, well-sourced, and there are no issues with copyright. All hooks are sourced within the article and under the character limit. I think that ALT2 is the best hook. QPQ has been provided. Good to go! Sebbirrrr (talk) 21:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
