Fails WP:NGRIDIRON. This article is misleading because he never actually played in a single NFL game. He had a pretty good college career, and if another ambitious editor wants to tackle this to make it notable for college career purposes I'd be ok with that. However, as it is now, I don't see this person meeting requirements for an entry on Wikipedia. Jrcla2 (talk) 04:30, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG either.  I don't see any non-trivial coverage of him in mainstream media sources.  Also, he doesn't apppear to have had a particularly notable college career.  This site indicates that he totaled only 110 rushing yards in four years at Wisconsin. If I've missed coverage that others think is non-trivial, I'd reconsider.  Cbl62 (talk) 18:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Further note: The bio from the high school that Kunhs attended claims he was a three-time All-Big 10 player. I can find no source verifying this.  If he were a three-time All-Big 10 fullback, I would expect him to have quite a lot of coverage, which I don't see.  It appears that the All-Big 10 claim on the high school web site (and nowhere else) is probably an error.  Cbl62 (talk) 18:34, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I found a source verifying twice, but likewise, I don't see a lot of coverage, and what coverage exists is somewhat vague.Marikafragen (talk) 05:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable former college football player.  Although he signed with the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams as a free agent, he never played a down in a regular season NFL game (see  and ), and is not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NGRIDIRON.  Did not receive first-team All-American honors or other major awards, is not a member of the CFB Hall of Fame, and did not set a major CFB record per WP:NCOLLATH.  Totaled 349 yards from scrimmage in four-year college career, scoring a total of four touchdowns (see ).  Contrary to high school HOF website, did not receive All-Big Ten honors (see 1998, 2000, 2001.  There are dozens of mentions found in Google News Archive, but all independent source coverage that I reviewed varied from trivial mentions to routine game coverage (see ).  Subject does not satisfy notability guidelines of WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH or WP:GNG&mdash;delete with extreme prejudice.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 09:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
