Keep Has been on the active roster, which per previous AfDs, still needs to be discussed further.--Giants27(T|C) 19:10, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think being on an active roster but not playing in a game should automatically make a player pass WP:ATH. Of course, it still needs to be discussed further, which is why I am not !voting keep or delete. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, drafted status, much like being on an active roster and not playing, needs to be discussed further.--Giants27(T|C) 23:09, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NSPORTS, having never played at highest level. NSPORTS does not automatically assume notability by merely being on the active roster. This is a WP:Run-of-the-mill player who does not deserve a standalone article. He also 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) 08:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
