Comments

I would add a sentence about his post-football career at the can company.
saw action at quarterback in addition to guard, add a comma before "in addition"
References are consistently formatted and appropriate for what is being cited
Add access-date to Ref #13
Spot checks: #4, #5, #11, #12, #13, and #15 all check out
