Not sure if this player is notable. This past weekend (November 8-9), he gained a lot of media attention for dropping the ball before he scored a touchdown. However, I'm not sure if he is notable beyond that one event. Natg 19 ( talk) 18:36, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. If we created an article for every player who ever fumbled the ball, we would soon have a huge mountain of WP:ONEEVENT junk articles. -- Biblio worm 20:20, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:NGRIDIRON since he has not played fully professionally. The incident mentioned is WP:ONEEVENT. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 00:07, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

- Delete aside from his DeSean Jackson moment, Clay appears to be just another college football player. Mellowed Fillmore ( talk) 16:06, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Obvious example of WP:BLP1E. No lasting notability and subject fails WP:NGRIDIRON. Fumbling a football is not grounds for notability. Mdtemp ( talk) 18:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - Non-notable college football player. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for a college athlete per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or records) or a professional football player per WP:NGRIDIRON (never appeared in a regular season game in the NFL, CFL, etc.). While the subject received some amount of coverage in blogs, fansites, etc., regarding his bobbled ball trick, significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources (i.e. mainstream sports and news publications) was insufficient to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG and WP:BLP!E.
