== Infobox padding ==

Is there a reason for the padding on top? Is this inherited from other sports infoboxes? I don't generally work on these articles and just noticed it. [http://imgur.com/a/R2BOv See screenshot here.] Thanks. [[User:Wikimandia|—'''''Мандичка''''']][[User talk:Wikimandia|'''''YO''''']] 😜 09:56, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

== Discussion regarding the birth date and birth place parameters ==

See [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League#Birth_name_in_Infobox_NFL_biography|discussion]]. Thanks. [[User:WikiOriginal-9|WikiOriginal-9]] ([[User talk:WikiOriginal-9|talk]]) 18:36, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

== CFBHOF_id unknown parameter? ==

Hi, editing references for [[Alex Moffat (American football)]] there's an error message "Warning: Page using Template:Infobox college football player with unknown parameter "CFBHOF_id" (this message is shown only in preview)." but the parameter is listed on the template.

== Question about the formatting ==

Is there any reason the "Personal Life" section isn't the first group of parameters listed? It's inconsistent with basically every other infobox about a sportsperson. ~ [[User:Dissident93|''Dissident93'']] ([[User talk:Dissident93|''talk'']]) 16:18, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
:Or should we just merge to [[Template:Infobox NFL biography]], which most notable college players end up using at some point. Some editors just insisted on college being unique.—[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 17:18, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Bagumba}}, doing that would cut down on a lot of maintenance since we'd no longer have to replace them with NFL infoboxes post-draft, but it also brings up potential issues such as bowl games being listed for NFL players (assuming that the parameter for that would be kept). But I suppose a fix could be either omitting that outright in a merge ''or'' having it (and other college-specific parameters such as class) be hidden via a flag that triggers when the player's team is no longer listed as a college team. That way we'd avoid any edit-warring. But unless we get a consensus for that, I see no reason why my original proposal shouldn't be applied to the current template. ~ [[User:Dissident93|''Dissident93'']] ([[User talk:Dissident93|''talk'']]) 19:00, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
:::{{u|Dissident93}}: I have no objection. It just seemed like to me in the past that some college editors just wanted things different for the sake of being different.—[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 02:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
