There are two NFL players named Tom Johnson. This one and Tom Johnson (American football), (b. 1931) an offensive/defensive tackle for the 1950s Green Bay Packers. "American football" and "gridiron football" are interchangeable, so not the best way to sort the two. I am suggesting the two players be sorted by position instead, moving this page to "Tom Johnson (linebacker defensive tackle)" and the other to "Tom Johnson (offensive tackle)" with appropriate hatnotes. Before making this move myself, I want to see if there is any other input. Frank AnchorTalk12:30, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gridiron football is the umbrella term for American AND Canadian football, while American football is the name of the football code played in the NCAA and NFL (see gridiron football). Normally this is an appropriate disambiguation, but in this case since the player born in 1984 is likely equally known for his NFL career as his CFL career I'd agree it's a bit confusing and they should be sorted by positions.

Makes sense, and I had forgotten that this Tom Johnson also played in the CFL, although I agree the titles as they are now can be somewhat confusing. Frank AnchorTalk12:48, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
