Same with the pro player bit-that's a terrible mistake. Due to that, we have a lot of "Jack Crack is the thirty-first string quarterback for the Somewhere Whoevers," with no hope of expansion whatsoever.
If gridiron football is anything like association football then digging through the back issues of the local paper would fix that one. Most have a sport section for when they have to produces say 2-3 pages of football based content every day. With perhaps 3 local teams at (minor league stuff doesn't normally count to that total) every player will get a lot of coverage over the course of a season.

Generally, backup players don't get a ton of coverage unless they really do end up -playing-, and even then the coverage tends to be trivial except in unusual situations. Name-drops and newspaper space filler is pretty poor sourcing. If that's all there is, we shouldn't have that article.
