 * Keep There are enough non-trivial mentions for me to believe that he passes WP:GNG.-- Giants27 ( T  |  C )  19:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep appears to have achieved notability through college play.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:58, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NSPORTS, having never played at highest level. This is a WP:Run-of-the-mill player not deserving of a standalone article. WP:CRYSTAL would suggest not to speculate on future notability based on whether the undrafted player ever plays in the NFL.—Bagumba (talk) 07:31, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - This isn't an article about a college superstar, this is a stub about a potential NFL player that has yet to play a game. Honor the rule of thumb. Userfy the page so material isn't lost a few weeks from now. Carrite (talk) 02:31, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes ATH 4.1 C.2 by meeting GNG ---Freja Beha Erichsen (talk) 21:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * He does not pass WP:ATH.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  22:55, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. Passes WP:GNG. Has been the subject of significant, non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media.  Not just passing references in game coverage, but articles focusing on him as the main subject. See, e.g.,, , , , , . Cbl62 (talk) 08:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
