Fails WP:NGRIDIRON by never playing a game in the NFL or CFL and WP:NCOLLATH because his college career does not meet the hurdles for that notability. All 12 references in the article are transaction notices, mostly by the teams he played for. Only the first NOLA reference is usable for assessing notability, as the ones from the teams he played for are not independent, the second NOLA reference is not significant coverage, TurfShowTimes does not look reliable, and the USA Today and Chron.com references are not significant coverage. This is an interview, so not contributing to WP:GNG. Fairly basic coverage here. Most offensive linemen who fail NGRIDIRON generally don't get GNG coverage, and I'm not seeing an exception here.
