... the only wide receiver drafted by the franchise that year.[4] ???

[edit]

@Bloom6132: I don't have access to the footnoted ref, but wasn't the Jets' 7th round pick Curtis Ceaser a wide receiver? < REF: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/1995_draft.htm > --PFHLai (talk) 03:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1995 NFL Draft also lists 2 Jet draftees as WRs: Davis at 107 and Ceaser at 217. --PFHLai (talk) 23:43, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1995 New York Jets season says the same thing. --PFHLai (talk) 23:47, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@PFHLai: sorry I only saw this just now, as I was apparently not notified by your ping. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Ref 4 stated: "Davis, the Cavaliers' all- time leader in touchdown receptions, was the only wideout the Jets drafted" (I'm assuming wideout = wide receiver). Since this hook is now in DYK Prep 5, could I please trouble you to modify the hook to "… was one of two wide receivers selected by the New York Jets in the 1995 NFL Draft?" (I would've done it myself, but nominators are not allowed to modify their own hooks in the prep areas). —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:39, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Bloom6132. I have made the change as requested. BTW, would the first WR... be better? --PFHLai (talk) 23:03, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@PFHLai: come to think of it, yes that would be better. Thanks for the suggestion! —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. The hook on P5 is now changed to: "... that Tyrone Davis was the first wide receiver selected by the New York Jets in the 1995 NFL Draft?" --PFHLai (talk) 23:11, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
