Creative Artists Agency (CAA) seems to be doing a good job marketing one of the nine CAA clients that Brandon Thorn predicts will be selected in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft. Darius Heyward-Bey was one of the stars of the NFL Combine and has seen his draft stock rise ever since. The […]
