I found this in random article, I looked closely at the sources and just doesn't have enough sourcing to meet WP:GNG, a couple of the sources are local news stories that is normal for local athletes, and the rest are either first party sources or passing mention. Fails WP:BIO for not playing a game in the NFL and no significant coverage of his college years other than a ton of passing mentions from the local newspaper.

Speedy Keep This guy was a professional American football player. Since his position was Offensive tackle, he got no media attention. However, he easily passes WP:N.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per his NFL.com stats page, his only professional appearance was a preseason game. Never played a down in a game that counted. Blueboy 96 23:24, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:ATHLETE not only outlines who qualifies for an automatic article (subject specific guideline), but also sets a boundary line for what separates one athlete from another. Thousands of football players in America have met WP:GNG in terms of local coverage and the scouting reports, but significant coverage for a college player has to be the standard. True, Lougheed was a professional football player on the roster of various NFL teams, but he doesn't get past "have appeared in at least one game", and none of the sources meet WP:BIO's requirement of "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded." If there's something that might separate him from the rest of the pack, I'd reconsider, but I don't see it. Mandsford 03:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I PRODed this a few days ago (at the time it was an unrefed BLP), but my PROD was contested and refs were added. Anyway I was meaning to get around to taking this to AfD myself because, as Secret and Mandsford have stated above, he fails WP:NSPORTS, having never played an NFL match. More importantly though (and this is also stated above), he also fails the WP:GNG, with the only significant coverage he has coming from very local sources.

Delete Does not appear to have played professionally and does not appear to have an otherwise noteworthy collegiate career. College offensive linemen who don't turn pro are (sadly in my opinion) rarely notable. Bigger than me? Yes. Worked butt of in practice and games? Sure. Notable? Nope.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
