  • You don't think it interesting that someone went from being a factory worker in Germany to playing in the National Football League? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think its subjective. Lots of NFL players come from unfortunately backgrounds. For example, Colin Kaepernick's mother put him up for adoption. But if you think its interesting, I'm fine. Do you think there is anything more interesting about Welschof? If not, I'll pass this nomination.VR (Please ping on reply) 17:25, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I kind of thought it interesting, especially as only 3% of NFL players are not American (i.e. being from a foreign country is rare by itself, but being from a foreign country + having such an occupation as factory worker even more rare which sounded interesting to me at least) – but if not, we might also be able to do something about Welschof not playing football until he was 16 in Germany and now being in the NFL – would that be any better?

@BeanieFan11 and Vice regent: As written, this would deserve {{lead too short}} - can this be expanded? (Also, is there another way of writing the last sentence?)--Launchballer 23:49, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
