 * Delete I'm not finding any evidence the individual has played in an actual NFL or CFL game, so that's a failure of WP:NGRIDIRON. Looking at his college play, it doesn't look promising--I'm only finding basic "transactional-type" and/or blog entries, and even those reports point to a lack of notability.  For example, Fansided blogged "I’ll be honest I was excited thinking about what Nate Iese was going to bring to the group last year with his size and athleticism. He had an okay year for the 2016 UCLA Football team catching the ball but his 25 catches for 400 yards and four touchdowns didn’t blow anyone out of the water."  The Sacramento Bee only had this to say:  "Played fullback, tight end, linebacker at UCLA; considered a freak athlete."  I have to admit that I don't know what a "freak" athlete is, but it doesn't sound like he was able to generate enough press there to surpass WP:GNG.  There is a pre-season article at the Orange County Register where he got several paragraphs outlining the "anticipation" of what he could do, but by all measures I can find he didn't produce the results that this one article of hype predicted.  There certainly are not a good selection of independent reliable sources that wrote about his efforts and I can find no other notability measure that points to a pass.  Anyone have better/different research?--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:09, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I concur with Paul McDonald's research.  He isn't listed as being on the team roster currently(according to the article here). 331dot (talk) 14:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per Paul McDonald and lack of significant coverage focused on him. With 46 catches and seven TDs in four years of play, he wasn't even a particularly significant contributor at UCLA. See here. Cbl62 (talk) 15:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as the article fails WP:GNG on numerous levels. He was with the team for a short time and most of the points were very well stated by Paul McDonald. My last nail in the coffin is that the article is also extremely poorly sorted and written, seems like a sandbox article rather than a full article.
