  • This article, promoted to GA on 11 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ done. No copyvio issues. @Gonzo fan2007: I don't find the hook particularly interesting. Is it very rare for a player to complete two Hail Marys in a season? Tenpop421 (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
    • Tenpop421, it is very rare! Likely never happened before. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:57, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
      • @Gonzo fan2007: fair enough! ALT0 could run, but we'd need to include some sort of stat that says that it is rare (e.g. "the first time this had happened in X years") so it's hook-y to people who don't necessarily know American football. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:02, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
Tenpop421 ALT1: ... that during the Hail Larry game, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jeff Janis recorded 145 of his career total of 345 receiving yards and 2 of his 3 career touchdowns? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
Works for me! Hook is short enough, interesting, in article, and cited. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 21:10, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
