I can find no evidence that this person ever played a game in the NFL. Thus, he likely fails WP:NGRIDIRON. While the article claims that he was on the 2007 Redskins roster, profootballreference does not include him in a list of players who played for the Redskins in 2007 [1]. Likewise, the same site has no statistics for him, also indicating he never played a game. [2]. The CBS Sports page in the article is blank, as his NFL.com page [3]. Profootballreference has no entry for him [4]. The ESPN page for a Kyle Brown is about a guy who played college basketball for Cornell. His college career fails WP:NCOLLATH, and I'm seeing nothing that indicates a GNG pass, either. Hog Farm Bacon 01:03, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

- comment not much to the article as it is written, but the college career may be notable. Difficult to sort out the web searches.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 13:47, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- My 2 cents: Huge expectations coming out of high school, as reflected in this coverage: part 1 part 2, this, and more like it. However, injuries prevented him from reaching his expected potential and he ended up being a decent, but not extraordinary, college player as reflected in his stats here.

- Delete his level of actual play in college football is not such to justify an article. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete not being able to parse out online sources, I have to go with the article as it is written and that seems to point toward non-notability.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 13:41, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
