Clearly fails WP:NGRIDIRON, never played a fully professional game. [1]. Of the references in the article, one is a brief piece stating he was drafted, one is a statement that he suffered an injury and would miss the season, and the other mentions him in one sentence (statement that he was released). His college career fails WP:NCOLLATH. I'm not finding enough non-transaction related coverage to indicate a WP:GNG pass. Hog Farm _Bacon 01:08, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Hog Farm. That's what I was hoping for. Cbl62 (talk) 15:01, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

comment found this one: [2], nominated for "best play" in the ESPY awards. Kind of looks like either a feature article or an "and finally" article... I think we should take a closer look at his college career.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:51, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Cbl's findings show a good amount of regional and national coverage, enough to pass WP:GNG. Good research!--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:09, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per the sources found by Cbl62 and Paulmcdonald. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Football players can receive enough coverage without playing a pro snap. This is one example of this. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:34, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
