Darroll DeLaPorte: A WP:BEFORE check only came up with [ [20] ] and confirmation of his death.  Open to redirecting this to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929)#1925 or another target.

Let'srun ( talk ) 19:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I find it likely that DeLaPorte has biography in the book The Badgers: Milwaukee's NFL Entry of 1922-1926 ; also worth noting that an "E. C. DeLaPorte" was prominent in a scandal where high school players played for Milwaukee in one game in 1925 ( [21] ).  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 20:02, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It appears that there are quite a few people from the area with the same last name though, so that doesn't prove anything.  Let'srun ( talk ) 20:35, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The fact that a group of high school kids played for the 1925 Milwaukee NFL team (0–7 record, outscored 204–14) shows it to have been a bit of a ragtag organization where notability should absolutely not be presumed from appearing in a single game.  Cbl62 ( talk ) 22:46, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] FWIW it was only one game in particular, and it appears to have been only four players - we also don't presume notability for these players (or any pro football players in particular at this point).  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 22:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] True . . . but can you imagine it?  High school kids being recruited to play on an "NFL" team?  Cbl62 ( talk ) 23:02, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Can't imagine what it'd be like to be asked in high school, "hey, do you want to play in the NFL?"  Hah... the topic is definitely interesting - rather surprising there isn't more coverage of it and the players... but DeLaPorte doesn't seem to have been one of the four high-schoolers?  Would be interesting to know if there was any connection between him and the "E. C. DeLaPorte" of the scandal, haven't seen any mention of it.  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 23:17, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just goes to show how different the 1920s NFL was to today.
