• I would add a sentence about his post-football career at the can company.
• saw action at quarterback in addition to guard, add a comma before "in addition"
• References are consistently formatted and appropriate for what is being cited
• Add access-date to Ref #13
• Spot checks: #4, #5, #11, #12, #13, and #15 all check out
