On To The Next One?: Marcell Dareus

Brandon Thorn has Marcell Dareus listed as the #1 Defensive End in a 3-4 scheme and #1 Defensive Tackle on his 2011 Top 5 at Each Position List, #4 on his 2011 Big Board, and being selected #2 overall by the Denver Broncos in his 2011 NFL Mock Draft.  No agent ever wants to lose a client, but losing a guy like Dareus just weeks prior to the NFL Draft has to sting worse than losing a different client at a different point in time.

We have recently been hearing that Dareus has dropped Todd France of France AllPro Athlete Management (FAAM), who had been representing Dareus since roughly the start of 2011.  As of the publishing of this post, Dareus has not officially chosen new representation; however, I hear that he is between only a couple of firms.  The two names that have popped up on my radar are Ladardere Unlimited and Allegiant Athletic Agency (a3).
