Not a review, just a suggestion. This would be a lot hookier IMO if it were made clear that Parker was already huge when he was considered "small". How about "alt1 ... that American footballdefensive endRiddick Parker increased his weight by 26 pounds (12 kg) because he was regarded as "small" at 274 pounds (124 kg)?

Overall: Created a day before nom, agree ITN appearance is fine; long enough; each paragraph/direct quote is cited appropriately. Article is well-written and no copyvio concerns picked up by Earwig. Sources good (lol at a 274-pound man being "undersized"). Hook also good and interesting. ALT1a is good to go. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 23:48, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
