Hello again. This is nearly there except that it needs some more in the lead. I've added a few minor things like the location of the paper and the prepend templates. Basically, the lead should include something about Canadian football and perhaps the bit at the end of the article about him not wearing shoulder pads, which is a potential DYK piece.
As far as the GA criteria is concerned, the article is well-written and well-sourced. It's in scope, has a good image and there are no OR or POV issues. The only problem is the lead being short.
I'll put it on hold but I'm not applying any deadline. Please ping me when you've had chance to look at it. Thanks. BoJó | talk UTC 19:16, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
