 * Keep, played a Full Season in the National Football League and meets GNG with SIGCOV, see for example  (p2). BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:33, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, looking at |Pro-Football-Reference he played in 16 games and started 6. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the feature story linked above by BeanieFan, my search also turned up this. So, we have an athlete who played in the NFL for a full season of 16 games and received SIGCOV in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Thats a GNG pass. Cbl62 (talk) 03:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, the nom's rational that the article is "too short" is not a reason to delete. Cbl62 (talk) 03:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. Meets WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:GNG, and WP:BASIC, per the sources found by BeanieFan11 and Cbl62. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Too short? He's 6 foot 3! StAnselm (talk) 12:40, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not know if this is a joke or if this is you being serious, I am an American, so I am not the smartest. Sportsfangnome (talk) 13:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It is a joke. StAnselm (talk) 13:30, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep NFL players who are regulars on the roster and hit the field are usually notable, as BeanieFan11 and Cbl62 demonstrate above.-- Mvqr (talk) 13:36, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - No valid deletion rationale, and even though we eliminated the presumption that a player who played 1 NFL game is notable, this player played a full season including 6 as a starter, so he far clears any reasonable presumption of notability bar. And in any cases, the sources given in this discussion pass GNG. Rlendog (talk) 13:54, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
