• Keep He's been on a practice squad so he qualifies for WP:ATHLETE because he has been in the NFL.--Iamawesome800 23:09, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:ATHLETE requests for him to play one game in the NFL, he wasn't even in the practice squad, he was cut before that. Secret ^account 13:08, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Although he didn't play an actual game, he was signed by a pro-football team, which is the highest level one can play at that sport. Lorty2 (talk) 02:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - if he was only on the practice squad, he didn't compete at the highest level as per numerous WP:ATHLETE related decisions. - fchd (talk) 07:07, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - No major college experience. WP:Athlete does not automatically disqualify a college athlete. As any American can attest, college football is bigger ($1.3 billion for just the top 44 teams, let alone all 120) than many international sports, and is comparable to top-level German Bundesliga ($1.7b) and English Premier League ($2.8b). With all of that said, I return to the position that competing at a CC is not a major career --I remain neutral because I am not sure about the practice-squad position, as that would --to me--constitute a position on an NFL team. --Bobak (talk) 19:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:ATHLETE says "People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport" are notable. College experience for a major team qualifies. Lorty2 (talk) 02:12, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wynn has not competed at NFL level. Sources on the page do not support notability. Duffbeerforme (talk) 10:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Has not played at the highest level. Practice squad is not the highest level. Until he is in uniform for a regular season NFL game, he does not meet WP:ATHLETE and is merely an employee of the football team. --Smashville^talk 16:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
