... that Green Bay Packers rookie Josh Boyd was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl while in high school?

Reviewed: Allen Grubman

5x expanded by Skater (talk). Self nominated at 18:37, 25 October 2013 (UTC).

Passes fivefold expansion minimum and long enough to be eligible for DYK. Sources decent and reliable, and information substantial. The original is... well, lacking punches, but it's trying to be significant. Any alternative hooks? George Ho (talk) 05:14, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

@George Ho:

Alt1... that Green Bay Packers rookie Josh Boyd was offered athletic scholarships from six different schools?

*sigh* I'll let the promoter decide then. George Ho (talk) 20:59, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

@George Ho: The problem with Boyd is that he really hasn't done a-lot in his career that I can prove with reliable sources. He's a rookie who has barely seen the field, so their really isn't a-lot I can do there.--SKATER ^{T a l k} 23:43, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
