Two days ago, I chatted with NFLPA Contract Advisor Malik Shareef of Roanoke, Virginia regarding a rumor I was hearing that he was in line to be the next agent for 2012 NFL Draft hopefuls Janoris Jenkins and Dwight Bentley.

The first On to the Next One involving Peyton Hillis was published on July 1, 2011, and focused on Hillis’ switch from SportsTrust Advisors to Kelli Masters of KM Sports.
