Delete Fails WP:ATH and WP:GNG.--Giants27(T|C) 19:07, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
delete no reliable independent sources provided. No prejudice to recreate if notability is later established.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:04, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NSPORTS, having never played at highest level. Fails WP:GNG with lack of non-routine coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. WP:CRYSTAL would suggest not to speculate on future notability based on whether the undrafted player ever plays in the NFL.—Bagumba (talk) 07:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Time-tested consensus is that one needs to have played in one NFL game and that does not seem to be the case here. Having a simple rule of thumb like this helps us avoid having to spend countless hours parsing sources for vaguely-sort-of-notable-or-not players. ONE GAME: IN — ZERO GAMES: OUT.
