If the 2011 NFL offseason was not overshadowed by a lockout, it might be best known for the accumulation of new clients by Drew Rosenhaus of Rosenhaus Sports Representation. Then again, if there was no lockout, perhaps Rosenhaus would not be gaining so many new clients. Many rival agents believe that Rosenhaus has signed a plethora of new clients based on his deep pockets and willingness to front large amounts of money to clients to take care of their expenses.
The most recent 2011 NFL Draft pick to change over to Rosenhaus is Greg Romeus, who was drafted in the 7th round (#226 overall) by the New Orleans Saints. Romeus was formerly co-represented by Goal Line Sports and Impact Sports. At least Romeus is going from two South Florida based agencies to another South Florida agency.
Romeus is a defensive end who played at the University of Pittsburgh. Last week, Rosenhaus picked up Jason Pinkston, another former Pitt Panther who was represented by Octagon. Along with Jabaal Sheard and Dion Lewis, Rosenhaus now represents four players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft who played their college ball at Pittsburgh. The highest picked Pittsburgh Panther was Jonathan Baldwin, who was taken in the first round (#27 overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs. His representatives at Priority Sports are certainly following the Rosenhaus signings very closely.
If my count is correct, based on the Romeus signing, Rosenhaus now represents 16 players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Is Pitt the new University of Miami?
