American football player who was on the books of the Baltimore Ravens and the Chicago Bears, but released by both without playing a game. Currently a free agent, according to the article. The only other information included is from his days at university. Non notable for never having played a game, and now seemingly unlikely to. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 23:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - as an athlete who is not played a game in top league of his sport. -- Whpq (talk) 17:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - changing to keep in light of the report of NCAA records.

 * Keep based on college records alone, despite his lack of NFL playing time. This article says he set 5 NCAA records in 2002.  Perhaps he is notable based on his college-level accomplishments at a division one school?  He already has mention in a Wikipedia article to verify.  Also this USAtoday article confirms at least one of his records, and would serve as an independent source.   Keeper   |   76  21:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
