Ecker is a non-notable former football player. First, he has not played in a regular season game in a professional league and does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON. Second, he has not received national press coverage or won an award that would qualify under WP:NCOLLATH. Third, he has not been the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources so as to pass WP:GNG -- the only significant coverage I found was this.

- Delete - Non-notable college football player. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for a college athlete per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or records) or a professional football player per WP:NGRIDIRON (never appeared in a regular season game in the NFL, CFL, etc.). While the subject received a large amount of coverage in blogs, fansites, recruiting services, NFL Draft prospect evaluations, etc., and a moderate amount of WP:ROUTINE post-game coverage, significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources (i.e. mainstream sports and news publications) was insufficient to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

- In the interests of full disclosure, here is the only example of arguably "significant coverage" regarding the subject I found in a reliable source from the mainstream media: Detroit Free Press (11/17/2005). IMO, one profile of a college football in an in-state newspaper still borders on WP:ROUTINE. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
