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

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.
