On To The Next One: Paris Lenon

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Paris Lenon has switched agents.  The LB was once represented by Jon Persch of Allegiant Athletic Agency (a3) and is now a client of Blake Baratz (The Institute for Athletes).

“Lenon is a mature, hard working, veteran of the team,” Baratz told Sports Agent Blog.  “He’s the type of player that fits with the mold of how we are growing our business.”  Baratz also told me that he signed Lenon the same way he signs roughly all of his guys – through a trusted referral.

Paris Lenon was signed by the Carolina Panthers after going undrafted in the 2000 NFL Draft.  The former First-team All-Atlantic 10 Conference player (he played at the University of Richmond), even has experience playing in the one year that the XFL existed.  The 34-year-old is still logging heavy NFL minutes and has every intention to continue doing so.
