This player is not notable via WP:NGRIDIRON nor WP:GNG, although he may be in the near future. Jacona (talk) 18:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Seems to be a case of WP:TOO SOON. Arfæst Ealdwrítere (talk) 18:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Really hate when drafted players get nominated so quickly, considering there are tons of non-notable undrafted free agents who were signed after the draft and cut right away that still have articles. Anyways it looks like he passes GNG anyway:[1][2][3][4][5][6] They just need to be added to the article.--Yankees10 18:35, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Yankees10, passes WP:GNG, as will virtually all NFL draft picks. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All of the nominations by this particular nominator appear to be based on a misunderstanding of how WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON work together. WP:GNG trumps all other WikiProject-specific notability guidelines. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:25, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This player has had a journey on and off the field that has received a good deal of coverage. Starred in junior college and NCAA football before facing jail time and becoming a janitor. Returned to the NCAA and has now been drafted. Added some sources, but there are more. EricEnfermero ^HOWDY! 02:20, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes GNG from sources already showing in the piece, independent of the Pro Football Special Notability "low bar"... Carrite (talk) 13:44, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON. Badgersox (talk) 11:22, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
