"...to be named Defensive Player of the Week." I assume this is CFL Defensive Player of the Week (as opposed to team or conference)? Who gave the honor (e.g. the Associated Press, the league itself, etc)?
I can't access the sources in the article, will have to ask Rob.

This is a league-wide award given by the league. I've emphasized this by saying "the CFL's Defensive Player of the Week". ~

"...and was named the Roughriders' nominee for the Rookie of the Year award" Is something that can be wikilinked here?
CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award? Done
"...but Alipate's playing time was limited mostly to special teams" is not explicitly supported by the source given.
@
Lizard the Wizard: Can you take another look at this source? Specifically, I think these sentences support what I've said: "Zauner believes that the Vikings have found an answer to last season's deficiencies with the acquisition of special teams specialist and linebacker Jeff Brady among others. The Vikings also acquired Tuineau Alipate, who played a similar role for the New York Jets." By saying Alipate played a similar role to a special teams specialist, that means he was used primarily on special teams (at least to my understanding). ~

What I meant was the immediate citation (his NFL.com profile page) didn't support that he was primarily a special teams player. It supports the first part of the sentence though, so I'd move the footnote to after the comma and place the citation you've quoted above after the sentence.

I don't believe it's mandatory for a GA, but
IPA would be helpful for his name if a source is available (and one is: "too-NOW allah-POT-tay" per the NYT article). Done
I'd subsection his professional career into "Canadian football" and "American football," and remove the team subsections, since he had off-season stints with other teams that really don't fit anywhere at the moment. Done
That's about it. Let me know if you have any questions. Once the "crucial" issues have been addressed I'll be happy to promote this article to GA.

The main issues are fixed, so I'll go ahead and pass it. Good work.
