Source: The Oklahoman: "Burris finished a strong second ... Sixty-one years later, the Burris campaign remains the closest a lineman has come to winning the Heisman."
ALT1: ... that Kurt Burris, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, was remembered as a "headhunter" who "usually knocked two or three guys out of a game"? Source: Same source as above which also says: "Lynn Burris called his brother a 'headhunter. He wouldn’t be able to play today. He usually knocked two or three guys out of a game...'"
Comment: The first hook is the more extraordinary fact (interior lineman almost never get the kudos) but I acknowledge that the term "lineman" may be less understandable to non-USA readers. Accordingly, I have linked the term and have also included alt 1 which, albeit less extraordinary, may be more accessible to a broader audience.

Overall: Just the one sourcing issue; I don't see anything of issue otherwise with this nom. First hook clearly more interesting than the ALT. Pass; prefer ALT0 to ALT1. ThaesOfereode (talk) 01:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
