Never played in an NFL game and doesn't seem to have played a CFL game ; I'm seeing no indications of XFL or arena football experience, so he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. His college career doesn't seem to be anything that would pass WP:NCOLLATH. This source, from his employer (non-independent), lists his coaching positions, none of which are significant enough to indicate a pass there, as it's all quality control coach type stuff. 24 7 sports barely has any coverage on him. Once I filter out sources from teams he played for or coached for and unreliable blogs, I'm only finding a handful of brief transaction notices. He just don't seem notable, UDFA offensive linemen who never make it into professional games almost never are. Hog Farm Bacon 21:13, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

 * delete hard to search on this one for me, so I have to go off the article as written. The article content does not really have a claim of notability that we would keep if it were sourced, and the lack of sources in addition point toward deletion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:14, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. Some significant coverage found. E.g. this from 2009, this from 2008. Falls a little short of GNG but if a bit more significant coverage turns up, it might tip the balance. Cbl62 (talk) 19:48, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * First one's good coverage, second one appears to be mainly an interview. Hog Farm Bacon 20:18, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the article and added better sourcing as well. Still on the fence. Cbl62 (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. I took a couple days to mull this one over. I spent a good deal of time searching for sources and rewriting parts of the article.  Sometimes, that effort pushes one to want to "rescue" or "keep" the article.  But in this case, the depth of coverage is lacking, and I can't in goof faith conclude that GNG is satisfied.

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:48, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete just doesn't seem to have the coverage for WP:GNG or the WP:IMPACT or any other measure. I would not doubt that this individual may in the future achieve notability.  If someone wants to userfy, I'm find with that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:06, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
