No coverage in reliable sources to verify and sustain an article. Fails general notability and WP:ANYBIO. There is no one by that name listed at Pro-Football-Reference.com so it seems he has not played in a professional football game. Fails WP:ATHLETE Jbh ^Talk 17:25, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - does Pro-Football-Reference.com have everybody? I found his signing with the Rams in 1978 [1] and then a mention in 1984 that the Colts waived him [2]. It seems weird to be around that long and for two teams and never to have even played a quarter. —Мандичка^YO 😜 20:41, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Reliable databases indicate that he did not play in an NFL game. Further, I am not finding significant coverage of the type needed to satisfy WP:GNG. If additional sources are found showing he appeared in an NFL game, or that he received significant press coverage, I am prepared to reconsider. Cbl62 (talk) 15:36, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Non-notable former small college football player who never played a down in a regular season NFL game. I see nothing here to indicate that he satisfies the general notability guidelines as a football player, but if anyone turns up significant coverage of his local broadcast career, I would be willing to reconsider my !vote. (I am somewhat amused by the purported birth weight of his son!) Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see any references to make this former football player notable. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 20:39, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
