Upcoming Edits

Hello Wikipedians, I will soon be implementing various significant edits to this article. I think the current structure of this article is well organized, but I will be adding one new section and building out the content for the current sections. Specifically, I will be expanding upon the notability of Ruggs’ speed at the NFL combine and his high school and college accomplishments and experiences. I believe that these edits will help give a better understanding as to the notability of Henry Ruggs as he embarks on his NFL career. I will also be re-sourcing a few pieces of the current content, as I found some of the sources currently misrepresent information about Ruggs. Furthermore, I plan on adding a “Personal Life” section which discusses the charities in which Ruggs is involved to help victims of the current Coronavirus pandemic, among other things. I look forward to building out this article further, and welcome any discussion, feedback, and improvements anyone else may have. DylanElder (talk) 16:26, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Dylan Elder[reply]

Change the line where it says he is an American football player and replace with WAS 146.7.15.82 (talk) 15:23, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: He's currently a free agent. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:34, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Start playing?

Did he start playing football in 8th grade or junior year? Can’t be both! 100.8.75.148 (talk) 11:05, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2021 fatal car crash

Regarding the recent fatal car accident Ruggs was involved in, I was wondering if we could possibly create an entirely new article about the incident. The amount of sources for the situation are escalating each day and I think it wouldn't be too bad of an idea, but I wanted to reach a consensus first. I have recently expanded the section in this article with many sources to verify my contributions. (contribution) Please feel free to discard this idea, but I don't think we should ignore it either. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks. cheezejack | talk | contributions - 22:24, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is/was a football player

Hi, all. Seems like there's a difference of opinion about whether to call Ruggs a current or former football player. Let's hash it out here rather than in edit summaries. PRRfan (talk) 04:16, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Saying "I doubt he will be playing anytime soon due to the gravity of the crimes committed" shows no proof that he will never play. As Tundraspalace stated, Michael Vick returned to the NFL after being released from prison, and played for multiple different teams during that time. It is still possible that he could play again. And furthermore, he is technically in free agency. [1] - cheezejack | talk | contributions - 18:48, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I had Ray Rice in mind when I made that revert. However, I wasn't aware that the NFL eventually suspended Rice indefinitely as a result of his incident (Ruggs hasn't as of this comment). I figured Ruggs would get nothing less. In any case, he's not going to be playing football anytime in the near future with his charges, but we can re-edit his status if he signs back on and return to playing. --MuZemike 02:46, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
