  • Symbol question.svg A bit short (DYK Check says 1407 characters); otherwise, new enough, neutral, sourced, and without apparent copyvio. Image is PD due to age. The hook is interesting, but could we leave off "despite his missing right limb"? I feel like it's redundant. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 10:05, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. I've expanded the article a fair bit and offer a couple of alt hooks for you to choose from. Cbl62 (talk) 16:42, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
  • alt 1 ... that one-armed football player Eugene Neeley (pictured) became a consensus first-team All-American?
  • alt 2 ... that All-American football player Eugene Neeley (pictured) used the stump from his severed right arm "with telling effect in blocking and straight arming"?
  • Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 is good to go now. I think it's a little hookier than the longer alternative. Good work. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 05:29, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
