AAustin does not meet the notability guidelines for Gridiron football. He never played in a professional game, and the coverage of him as a college player is not enough to rise to the level of notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Yankees10 as a WP:NGRIDIRON pass. Sources linked to in the article confirm that Austin played in the NFL for the Detroit Lions in 2013. Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:07, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Confirmed it was a playoff game against the Cowboys.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:28, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
