• ... that Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Carl Bradford was coached in high school by Todd Gerhart, the father of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Toby Gerhart?

2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Church (talk). Self nominated at 05:27, 1 November 2014 (UTC).

• Note: this had sources in the form of four inline references and an external link prior to expansion, so it is not eligible for the 2x unsourced BLP exception. But that doesn't matter, because it's been 5x expanded. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 06:26, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook fact is well referenced. The article is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing. (Disclaimer: American football terminology is beyond me. I don't know whether "rookie" is correctly used in the hook but I did notice and correct a non-technical error in the article.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:31, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• It's Bradford's first year with the Packers and in the NFL, so "rookie" is correct. However, there's no source for Toby Gerhart being with the Jacksonville Jaguars (the source given just mentions the Heisman), and since Gerhart's being with the Jaguars is part of the hook, that fact has to be sourced in the article.

• How about, from the same source:

• ALT1 ... that Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Carl Bradford was coached in high school by Todd Gerhart, the father of 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart? Fuebaey (talk) 04:59, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

• ALT1 hook ref is verified and cited inline. However, there is close paraphrasing throughout the Scouting section, and a bald URL in the references. Yoninah (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

• By definition, close paraphrasing warrants a more serious icon. Noting that nominator has edited only once, two weeks ago, since the end of November. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:01, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
