Comments

I changed the lead to match his brother's article.
I added NFL to the lead sentence.
I added the minor league allocation arrow.
Source for the identical twin category?
- I think it's kinda implied in the article that they're identical twins, but anyways here's a source talking about it – should I add it in somewhere?
Added some cats.
"Serwanga posted his first interception" int is already linked earlier.
- Done.
"after a win against the Arizona Cardinals" rem Arizona since it is mentioned several sentences ago.
- Done.
I'm assuming no new info since he retired?
- Didn't see any new info.

Spot checks

Ref 1 looks good.
Ref 2 looks good.
Ref 6 looks good.
Ref 12 looks good.
Ref 25 looks good.
