Checking sources for BLP problems, I found that little checks out in this biography of an alleged Oakland Raiders player. No claim of playing a game to establish WP:NGRIDIRON notability. No reliable source evidence this player ever signed with the Raiders. (Supplied reference failed verification.) Only coverage appears to be a blog listing of top small school prospects and routine track and field results. • Gene93k (talk) 00:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete assume this is a living individual so we have WP:BIO to consider. I see no sources to consider for notability. Wikipedia does not exist to provide a free promotional page for individuals trying to break into the NFL.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:04, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. My searches reveal no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Accordingly, the subject does not qualify under WP:GNG. Further, he has not played in a pro game and therefore does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON. Cbl62 (talk) 17:01, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SNOW Delete as by far nothing at all convincing for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 02:12, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
