Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"and he was named the game's most valuable player" - not sure if this needs to be capitalised as I've seen it capitalised before

" played linebacker for Texas A&M" - played as a linebacker?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No original research found.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article is well written, comprehensive and well-referenced. I couldn't find anything wrong with it, so promoted JAGUAR 14:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that went smoother than I expected. I'm also not sure about "most valuable player." I'll just leave it as is for now. Lizard (talk) 20:11, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
