Patrick Willis adding to the article.[edit]

I want to add more to the article under "personal life" about his sister, foster parents, and brother, Detris.

Here is the article: http://www.athlete.com/patrick-willis

Your opinion is highly welcomed. Iyak217 (talk) 00:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that website is a reliable source, so you'd need to get your information from somewhere else. Also, keep in mind that this article is about Patrick Willis, not members of his family. Eagles 24/7 (C) 00:50, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay many thanks. Iyak217 (talk) 02:29, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have much of an opinion on adding info about his family, but now that you bring it up, I think the first sentence of that section might belong more in the Early Life section. Thoughts?

"He is the only player to receive the Butkus Award for best linebacker in more than one category. He won the college Butkus Award in 2006 while at Ole Miss and in 2009, he won the professional Butkus Award while with the San Francisco 49ers." - i believe this is incorrect, provided I understand this sentence correctly. Manti Teo won the award in high school and college, and Von Miller won it in college and with the broncos. i didnt change this because i didnt know if the writer meant something else by 'category.' 76.21.106.90 (talk) 09:09, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
