I have concerns about the accuracy of this statement:

the last two-way player (excluding Deion Sanders who played offense and defense for the Dallas Cowboys in 1996, he filled in for the suspended Michael Irvin) in the National Football League.

For a significant portion of the 2005 season, Troy Brown of the New England Patriots played wide receiver and cornerback, as well. The entry acknowledges as much later.

I would suggest either modifying the phrase above to read:

the last person to play both offense and defense during the majority of his National Football League career.

That would distinguish Bednarik from fill-in crossover players, which are becoming increasingly frequent in the NFL.

I also have concerns about citations for the entire entry. It has none.

He's definitely from Slovakia, not the Ukraine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.89.11 (talk) 21:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
