[edit] Proposed edits

Here is supporting information for my suggested edits, clarifications and error corrections in italics:

Chris McIntosh was born ~~August 23, 1985 in Jacksonville, Florida)~~ Feb 20, 1977, in Pewaukee, WI (reference¹). He was ~~an midfield~~ Offensive Tackle (reference¹) that played for the Seattle Seahawks. McIntosh was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2000 NFL Draft as the 22nd overall pick.

~~McIntosh upset coach Mike Holmaker when he held out during the holiday tournament~~ In his rookie year McIntosh held out of training camp in an effort to get a better contract, he was the last first round draft choice to sign (references^{2 , 3}). ~~In 2001, McIntosh lost the starting job to Todd Weiner~~. In 2000 Chris McIntosh made his first NFL start, replacing Todd Weiner at Tackle (reference⁴). McIntosh's playing time increased as the 2000 season went on. He showed glimpses of the talent that made him a first-round draft pick. McIntosh started in 10 games for the Seattle Seahawks under coach Mike Holmgren as a rookie, but was limited to three starts in 2001 because of a recurring neck injury he suffered during training camp. He eventually lost the starting job in 2001 and did not play the 2002 season. (reference ⁵)

~~McIntosh would spend two additional seasons with the Seahawks prior to his~~ McIntosh never fully recovered from his neck injuries and June 25, 2003 release.(reference ⁵) He has not played in the NFL since.

[edit] Draft Bust

I would like to see who someone can "rate him" as one the biggest draft busts in history. Furthermore he can't be considered a bust when he was forced to retire due to injury. --HotOne121 (talk) 23:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
