Not too much of which to speak here. A few prose adjustments and clarifications may be warranted, but other than that, we are pretty much good.

Is there any reason Junkin attended high school at Belvidere High School in Belvidere, Illinois, and played high school football at the position of tight end. cannot be rephrased/made more concise to Junkin attended Belvidere High School in Belvidere, Illinois, and played tight end.? It just seems a little ... verbose.
Was he recruited by anyone else? Did he pick Duke for any particular reason?
In reference number 4, can you include the location of the newspaper?
As a sophomore, he spent the 1984 season as one of five starting linebackers on a modified Duke defense. It might help to clarify that defenses typically start three or four linebackers to help non-football fans.
Junkin graduated from Duke after the 1986 season having broken the school record for tackles with 512. Can we tweak it to Junkin graduated from Duke after the 1986 season as the school record-holder for career tackles with 512.?
On the selection, head coach Marty Schottenheimer stated to In regards to the selection, head coach Marty Schottenheimer stated
He was given the starting job again to end the season, but missed tackles and a lack of great plays led to his second season being considered a disappointment. What the heck is "a lack of great plays"? Seems a little bizarre.
Two weeks after the trade, a report came out that Junkin had taken steroids provided by a doctor to treat an injured ankle, and had failed a combine test as a result Um. What is a combine test? Is there a combine that isn't the Scouting Combine? Did you perhaps mean a drug test?
In an ESPN article in 2008, Junkin was noted as the eighth biggest draft bust of all time. to An ESPN article in 2008 noted Junkin ...
And you said there are no sources on his post-football career, correct? No free images either, I assume? So, I think it's just those few quibbles. Good job. Go Phightins! 02:08, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Issues fixed, thanks for the review. It doesn't look like any other colleges tried to recruit him, but then again pre-internet recruitment was way more behind the scenes. Nothing post-career whatsoever, even on where he might be residing nowadays. Not sure how to reword fully the great plays thing since that's what the source said. I changed it to impact plays which makes more sense, if that still doesn't fit I can just remove that part since the missed tackles were the crux of the criticism. Wizardman 02:29, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
I think it looks good. Passing. Go Phightins! 02:34, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
