ALT1: ... that New Jersey General Assemblyman Benjie E. Wimberly coaches high school American football, and helped develop current New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz?
ALT2: ... that former students of Benjie E. Wimberly helped him capitalize on the youth vote to get into politics?

new enough and just barely long enough (~1600 characters) but not padded. Article is well-referenced throughout. All three hooks verified against sources; I think ALT1 is the most interesting, though it might be re-worded to state "...develop current New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz?" Not everyone knows who Cruz is, and he's been a little absent this year :). Aside from QPQ this is good to go. Mackensen (talk) 21:36, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

I get ~1800 characters. Either way, QPQ provided. Perfectly okay with rephrasing alt1 hook as suggested if it improves clarity for those who don't follow the NFL. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:01, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Looks good to me then. Passing. Mackensen (talk) 00:49, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
