Overall: The hook uses despite, which is a word to watch per MOS:EDITORIAL. Being a school's leading tackler doesn't necessarily imply one is destined to be an NFL player. Also the hook says he's still the leading tackler "over 30 years" later, but his career ended in 1993, and the WP article says "As of 2022" i.e. less than 30 years. There's also no explicit sourced statement in the article that he didn't play in the NFL. —Bagumba (talk) 15:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
"Somehow, Barto never played in an NFL game. When he remained unsigned in the fall of 1994, I hung up my scout’s hat for good. I’ve since seen vastly inferior players line up behind a defensive line on fall Sundays. At the very least, Barto would have been a special-teams killer in the pro ranks." ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
When he remained unsigned in the fall of 1994, I hung up my scout’s hat for good.. So if it were to be added to the WP page, it would seem to need WP:INTEXT attribution, but is this opinion all that notable for inclusion?—Bagumba (talk) 17:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
