• @Chorchapu: Not a review, but the hook as currently written may not be interesting to an international or non-American football audience. For one thing, Delco is not a well-known term internationally (is it even well-known outside of Pennsylvania), and it does not seem that interesting that a person would be selected to an all-team of a non-well known region. Do you have other alternative options? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:46, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

  @Narutolovehinata5: How would you feel about an ALT1: ... that Joe Sterrett broke Lehigh football's season record for touchdown passes? Source here, in section "Scouting report" on the left-hand side. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 18:50, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

  Another candidate could be ALT2: ... that American college football coach Joe Sterrett graduated majoring in psychology and finance? (source). Chorchapu (talk | edits) 18:55, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

  @Narutolovehinata5: What do you think of these new hooks? Chorchapu (talk | edits) 18:53, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it would be accurate, but I'd be open to ALT2, maybe even moreso if it was focusing on just finance rather than mentioning psychology too. I would leave the full review to another editor, however. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:52, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

The above wasn't technically a review but I will put this down anyway for clarity. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 00:55, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

I take, will review in the next 24 hours.--Launchballer 23:17, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Long enough, new enough. Earwig's clean and QPQ's unnecessary. Lead's a bit short but that's not a DYK disqualifier. Hook's just the right side of interesting and checks out, though feel free to suggest further hooks. Let's roll.--Launchballer 14:45, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Which particular hook? It wasn't made clear in the review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:07, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

ALT2.--Launchballer 03:09, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
