   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "Floyd appeared in ten games during the Jets' 1982 season, including three playoff games, and eight in their 1984 season, with two games started." - repetition of "games"
  • Cut last instance. Therapyisgood (talk) 17:36, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
• "After a knee injury in the 1985 NFL preseason, Floyd retired." - possibly better Floyd retired after sustaining a knee injury in the 1985 NFL preseason.
  • Changed. Therapyisgood (talk) 17:36, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
• "In 1999, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame; in 2007, he was inducted into EKU's Hall of Fame, and, in 2011, he was inducted into Hernando High School's Hall of Fame." - too many uses of the term "he was inducted into the"; try something different that doesn't lose meaning if possible
  • Rewrote. Therapyisgood (talk) 17:36, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Professional career

• Each of the three mentions of New York Daily News need to be fully italized
  • I'm following our article on New York Daily News on italicization. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:07, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Personal life

• "As a junior in high school, Floyd wanted to join the Army." - perhaps add why he did not join the army
  • Source doesn't say, unfortunately. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:04, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
• "He married Cheryl Johnson in March 1983." - who is Cheryl Johnson?
  • His wife, presumably. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:04, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
