Former LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson was selected #5 overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2011 NFL Draft. In the 2012 NFL Draft, another LSU cornerback may be off the board within the first five picks. Peterson was represented by a lesser known agent named Patrick Lawlor of Galaxy Sports. This year’s star cornerback from LSU, Morris Claiborne, […]
Yesterday, I mistakenly listed former Alabama linebacker Don’t’a Hightower as a client of Athletes First. The post has since been corrected. Hightower has chosen an agent, but his selection was actually Pat Dye, Jr. of SportsTrust Advisors. SportsTrust Advisors is the agency that Jimmy Sexton recently left in favor of joining up with the football division at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). […]
Since leaving SportsTrust Advisors to join Tom Condon and Ben Dogra at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Jimmy Sexton has been busy building his football player client list. For many years, Sexton was widely known for representing many of the best coaches in college and professional football. While that statement still holds true today, it would be hard to dispute […]
Octagon Football represents 6 players who were selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. Those players range from Cameron Jordan (defensive end selected #24 overall by the New Orleans Saints) to Stephen Schilling (offensive lineman selected #201 overall by the San Diego Chargers). Every year, Octagon Football represents a number of players who drafted, and Octagon is able to […]
If three years have passed since a college football player’s high school class graduated, he is officially eligible to declare for the NFL Draft. Typically, that rule provides redshirt Sophomores and true Juniors the opportunity to leave school early and test their luck with NFL teams. Players who are interested in declaring for the NFL […]
Steve Caric of Caric Sports Management is not the biggest name in the agent business, but every year you can count on him to be representing at least a couple of solid players. Last year, he represented Mason Foster (#84 overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Ricky Elmore (#197 overall to the Green Bay Packers). In 2012, Caric is representing Washington RB […]
Drew Rosenhaus is now representing two players at the quarterback position who hope to be selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. I have already reported that Rosenhaus represents former University of Miami quarterback Jacory Harris. Rosenhaus also recently signed up former Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas. Agent Drew Rosenhaus has signed QB Darron Thomas — Joe Schad […]
University of Florida running back Jeff Demps is putting aside his dreams to play professional football to focus on getting prepared to run track in the 2012 Olympics. Don’t expect the same for the 6’3 302lb Florida defensive tackle Jaye Howard. Howard, who was recently named Honorable Mention All-SEC by the Associated Press, has signed with Drew […]
Back on December 8, 2011, I suggested that the inaugural NFLPA Collegiate Bowl may have an eligibility issue. The issue is that the game will showcase the top draft eligible collegiate football players from across the country, including underclassman who have declared for the NFL Draft. At the time that I published the post, I had […]
Robert Griffin III’s statement that he signed with Ben Dogra of Creative Artists Agency (CAA) was anticipated. His decision to wear Barney socks at the press conference where he made his representation announcement, less so. RG III joins a CAA NFL Draft class that is known year-in-and-out to be among, if not the best in the country. Joining […]
