More than a few missing NFL articles

This was archived, but I'm bringing it back for now
Since Hey man im josh asked to see a list of NFL players needing articles by games played, I'll be going through and listing here each NFL player with more than 10 games without an article (italics=20+;bold=30+;bold-italics=40+) - Through "Gus Fetz":

I know, but Josh requested a list for ones with the most games – the "Articles to create" list includes people with low numbers of games – it also misses some players with large amounts of games. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 00:55, 26 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Makes sense. I missed your comment above.-- Yankees10 00:58, 26 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Thank you for this @ BeanieFan11! Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Articles to create is very useful, but it doesn't tell us a lot beyond that a player's article is needed (unless you go the associated PFR links). I wanted to help out creating some articles but I also wanted to focus on ones that were most likely to survive if sent to AfD. While participation is not an indicator of notability it can be a useful place to start when trying to pick articles to create. Hey man im josh ( talk) 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Roger Anderson is interesting to me, as he transitioned from being a tackle in his rookie year to being a defensive tackle for his final 3 years. I'm going to work on his article. Hey man im josh ( talk) 14:31, 27 February 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Hey man im josh: I could find a few sources for you if you'd like (through Newspapers.com, or do you have that already?). Thanks for being willing to help! BeanieFan11 ( talk) 14:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Thank you for the offer @ BeanieFan11, but I think I'll have enough in this case. Anderson is very easily notable given what I'm finding, including his participating in the CFL, induction into his college's HoF, and All-American status. I just need to put the work in =) Hey man im josh ( talk) 15:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Would it make sense to reformat the players section of Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Articles to create to include this info? We could do columns with game played, PFR link, notes for claims to notability, etc. Hey man im josh ( talk) 23:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC) reply
We could, but I feel that would just take way too much work. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 23:23, 27 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Quinton Ballard next. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 16:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I'd like to suggest adding Bob Davis (American football, born 1914). They played in 49 games between 1938 and 1946 as a two-way player. They also led the league in punt return yards in 1944. PFR link here. Hey man im josh ( talk) 17:34, 13 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Wow, I'm... really surprised that a player with such accomplishments as Davis is missing an article. If no one else will, I'll try taking on his biography later this month or maybe next month. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 17:47, 13 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Found one with 67 games that appears article-less: Guy Roberts. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 02:17, 22 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Another comment to avoid archive. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 20:40, 20 November 2023 (UTC) reply
One more - I still intend on finishing this list at some point... BeanieFan11 ( talk) 16:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC) reply
