my error bugs also mentioned this yet to be player is this because he hasn't played an nfl down i think that standard for notability is way too high how many nfl draft picks were asked to go to that speech only one they presumably could have asked any number of players current former or future they chose long notable this convention while not notable in and of itself is by a group of trainers that would be notable and worthy of a wiki article notable long is notable himself long does not give many speech like to use the above example bush so one of a few would be notable this convention was covered by usa today notable usa today to my knowledge has not covered this convenion regularly if ever i could be wrong on that but i never remember it so if long's presence makes it in a nation sports page it is notable one editor deleting one line from an aricle and just saying it is non notable does not make it so
