Comment. Haven't had a chance to evaluate the coverage yet, but there do appear to be a number of articles about Callaway. See, e.g., Index of article about Callawy, Detroit Lions' local star Robert Callaway should find a home in NFL (mlive), Readers hope Flint Beecher's Robert Callaway will succeed with the Detroit Lions (Flint Journal), The lack of notoriety motivates Flint Beecher's Robert Callaway to become an elite NFL player with the Detroit Lions (Flint Journal), Flint Beecher's Robert Callaway moves to third on Detroit Lions depth chart (Flint Journal).

Delete not ready to call this a keeper yet. Would change my position if he plays pro or other sources are drummed up.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:08, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep just re-signed to the practice squad again [1], seems to get decent media coverage from ESPN, and other sports websites. Go Phightins! (talk) 21:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Practice squads are generally not notable in wikipedia, and mentions of signing to one can't be said to be 'significant coverage'. Unless he's played in a season game for the league, he doesnt meet Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#American_football.2FCanadian_football — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clovis Sangrail (talk • contribs) 05:02, 15 November 2011‎ (UTC)[reply]
