Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, has never played in an actual NFL game (practice squad/reserve-future contract only). Coverage I could find was mostly transactions, etc. or on unreliable sports blogs. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON and WP:GNG. Hog Farm (talk) 18:21, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article was deleted following AfD in 2010 and recreated this week by User:Lucky7jrk, apparently without following protocols for re-creating a previously-deleted article. While he signed a reserve/futures contract with the Patriots earlier this year, he has yet to appear in a pro game and thus fails WP:NGRIDIRON. He also fails WP:NCOLLATH as he has not won a national award, set a Division I record, been inducted into his sports's hall of fame, or gained national media attention. Finally, the sources cited in the article do not pass the WP:GNG bar of significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources. Cbl62 (talk) 19:36, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I believe that the article that was originally deleted is about a different American football player. Although this page was previously deleted, the previous page pertained to a completely different person. Lucky7jrk (talk) 22:03, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Lucky7jrk: Can you provide two or three examples of what you consider to be "significant" coverage in reliable, secondary sources? Cbl62 (talk) 22:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62: This is the most significant, reliable coverage I could find. Lucky7jrk (talk) 22:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That looks like three announcements of contract signings, which generally don't meet GNG standards for athletes. And yes, it's almost certainly a different person than the previous article, based on the years involved. Hog Farm (talk) 23:19, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with Hog Farm that these brief announcements of signings do not satisfy GNG which requires significant coverage (see WP:SIGCOV). Cbl62 (talk) 00:34, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails to meet WP:NGRIDIRON or WP:NCOLLATH. Coverage appears to be typical sports reporting of signings that don't show that WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 17:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
