• ... that despite being with five different teams during the 2004 NFL season, cornerback Mike Echols failed to make an appearance?

• Article creation date, article length, article policy conformance all check out. Hook meets length limit and is definitely hook-y. However article is incomplete/incoherent on Echols' college career, that needs to be fixed before this can be fully approved. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:05, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

• Was planning on adding to that tonight, but just wanted to nominate it before I went out earlier.--Giants27(T|C) 01:09, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

• His college career has been added.--Giants27(T|C) 19:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

• The high school section still ends with the sentence "He graduated with a degree in behavioral science and law.[3]" Is that meant to be the end of the college section? And is that a Law School degree (even with redshirting and a possible combined program, seems unlikely), or some kind of undergraduate program of study about legal issues? Needs clarification. And what has he been doing since his football career ended? Wasted Time R (talk) 01:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

• I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. The source just said that he had a degree in that. It didn't go in-depth about it. And, based off of this google search, he has done nothing noteworthy since he retired (the fisherman isn't the same guy).--Giants27(T|C) 20:53, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

• I think the law thing must have been this undergraduate major Legal Studies Program at Wisconsin. And what he's doing now is running some music industry venture, per his LinkedIn page. But anyway, the article is now okay on the college years and the DYK is good to go. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
