On To The Next One: Jordan Pugh

Defensive back Jordan Pugh is in his second year with the Carolina Panthers. He was drafted by the Panthers in the 6th round (#202 overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft. Prior to being drafted, Pugh played at Texas A&M. He and I still have no idea whether his alma mater will be staying in the Big 12 or leaving for the SEC.

Originally, Pugh was represented by Garriet M. Blair of GMB Sports and Entertainment, LLC, which is conveniently located in Texas. GMB also represents a couple of former Florida Gators in A.J. Jones and Carl Moore. Anyway, Pugh left GMB Sports and recently signed with Willis & Woy Sports Group. Pugh was recruited and introduced to WWSG by veteran NFLPA Contract Advisor Steve Weinberg. Weinberg, who I am told also successfully recruited five (5) draft choices for WWSG in the 2011 NFL Draft, is no longer affiliated with WWSG. Jordan Woy will be Pugh’s NFL agent going forward.
