Delete typically college offensive linemen do not generate enough press to pass WP:GNG. Although I'm seeing a lot of coverage, it all appears to be from "NJ.com" which I'm not convinced is the type of publication we're seeking. Since the subject has not played professionally (and with no indication that he ever will or even might) I don't see any guideline or policy to pass Notability at this time. Open to discussion if anyone has other information.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:08, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. At least some of those NJ.com stories are from The Star-Ledger, which is a significant newspaper by any standard. Nevertheless, I also haven't found substantial coverage of this player of the sort that would pass our usual GNG standards for college players who haven't played in NFL regular season games. Wynn played for Tampa Bay in the 2012 preseason, then spent the year on IR, and was cut in June 2013[1]; I didn't find any evidence that he's currently on a roster somewhere else. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:51, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
