The NFL National Scouting Combines invitees are almost exclusively drawn from D1 programs. Most Pro Days are held at D1 schools, where NFL scouts have the opportunity to see players that don’t make the National Scouting Combine perform […]
I am honored to be named to SportsPro Media’s inaugural 10 NEXT class, which recognizes “ten stars of the sports business industry under the age of 30 that have achieved a level of success that is truly rare at such a young age.” How about those St. Louis Cardinals?

However, Nova’s case, he actually left his agent and signed with another representative prior to returning to his original agent.
