Non-notable undrafted former division II player. Never played in the NFL, played on the practice squad for the Eagles (from which he was cut). Doesn't meet any WP:BIO criteria, as he has never been involved in an official professional football competition and didn't play at the highest amateur level (DI).

• Delete Keep: Didn't realize he wwas on a current NFL roster, as Horrorshowj pointed out. In that case he should be kept. Bjewiki 10:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • He's not on the roster, he's on the practice squad. According to this, it looks like there are no plans to add him to the active roster Smashville 13:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment He's signed with the Ravens, and is one of 2 healthy TE on the team. So he may have his regular season appearance within the next few weeks. Already has a few preseason, although those don't count for us. Horrorshowj 05:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Now on Ravens' roster. --Louis Alberto Guel 20:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • No he isn't...he's on the Ravens practice squad. Smashville 16:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think Louis meant that he's now on the Template:Baltimore_Ravens_roster Bjewiki 18:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Being on a template doesn't make someone notable...and per the below comment, being on someone's payroll doesn't make you notable. He doesn't "play for the Ravens". He's paid by the Ravens to practice. He doesn't even meet the basic WP:BIO requirement. Smashville 03:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Every player under contract with an NFL team is notable enough, in my opinion.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 19:22, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
