Doesn't appear to meet WP:NGRIDIRON. The article is very out of date, but based on ESPN's profile of him, he doesn't seem to have gone far after Youngstown State. [1]. A Google search brings up that basically blank ESPN entry, a few hits published by the university he played football for talking about him signing for football, some college football blogs, and that's about it. Appears to be an incredibly obscure college football player at a non-prominent school that didn't go on to the NFL after graduating 10 years ago. Hog Farm Bacon 01:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete I am not even sure he ever played at Youngstown State (not one of the major powerhouses in football), he was a redshirt in 2008. Clearly we need to inprove our process on the creation of articles. We need to make every new articles go through AfC, an article should not be able to sit for 12 years covering a person who has not even started college football.
