Candidate for deletion?
I think it's premature to mark this as a candidate for deletion. The criteria for notability call for somebody who has competed at the highest level of his sport. The very act of making an active NFL roster means that he is present at the highest level of sport, and he starred at a major college, also the highest level of the sport. He's a first-year pro. If he gets cut from the squad before season's end, never participates in a game, and never catches on with another team, then it may be appropriate to mark this article for deletion. He's a well-regarded rookie on a team that's rebuilding, a team that will be evaluating their young talent to see who their future players are. There's every reason to expect that he will be seeing playing time this year, possibly substantial playing time. And if that's the case, why take down the article just to have to put it up again? Certainly, the article needs expanded. There's no shortage of available references, because he's seen quite a bit of media coverage (which in itself should indicate notoriety). But if the goal is to get the article improved, isn't proposing deletion too harsh a tactic? GuySperanza (talk) 02:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * He played and scored a touchdown today so it probably shouldn't be deleted if the criterion for deletion was simply whether he had actually played in an official NFL game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.223.199.89 (talk) 19:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've removed the prod, as Sammie is obviously notable. Has played in several games, but the article is outdated with its information. VegaDark (talk) 20:40, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
