 * Delete unable to find any reasonable news sources and otherwise does not meet any notability standard that I can find.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:39, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. This one is a close call.  He has a profile at Pro-Football-Reference.com here, which I think means that he is a regular roster player (as opposed to just practice squad) but lists no regular season game appearances.  Then there's this from NFL.com, which seems to state he remains on the Jacksonville Jaguars roster as of the last preseason game on 9/3/15 (and so far I find no release saying he's been cut).  Also, there is some significant coverage.  See, e.g., this profile from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, this from the New Haven Register, this short piece from First Coast News, this blurb from the Sun Times Network, this longer story from Bleacher Report (debatable as reliable source), and this short blurb from Rolling Stone.

 * Delete - While I appreciate the research efforts that Cbl62 made above, I see exactly one independent, reliable source that rises to the level of significant coverage of the subject (i.e., Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 2012, linked above). The remainder of the coverage is routine transactional coverage that every NFL signee receives, one that discussed the purported unpronounceability of his name (i.e., Rolling Stone), with the added coverage of a fansite (i.e., BleacherReport.com).  The subject player was not a notable college athlete, and has never played in a regular season NFL game in three previous NFL seasons; he is not a part of any roster, practice otherwise, and the likelihood of him now appearing in an NFL game is slim.  I see no loss of encyclopedic content by the deletion of this article.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:54, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
