Can't help but wonder -- was his mother (a) a superfan of General Hospital (old time fans of the show would understand), (b) really into astrology or (c) just a genius at picking kick-ass names for her babers? Cbl62 (talk) 19:18, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm partial to Hamp Cheevers, for the record. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think he meets GNG per [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] . Is this professional? He's apparently in finance now. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete None of the sources mentioned show significant coverage, merely routine reporting of signings by teams that cut him before ever playing an NFL game--so he fails to meet WP:GNG. Being on practice squads does not meet WP:NGRIDIRON. Papaursa (talk) 02:42, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
