Here, Niang is a truly rare case -- a college level offensive lineman who has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and thus passes the GNG bar. Offensive linemen almost never get press at college level. E.g., [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Cbl62 (talk) 19:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply
