What does it take to be an NFL agent, and how do you get there?
Started May 23, 2023
Abstract or project description
Agents in the NFL play a crucial role in the careers of their clients, ensuring fair assessment of their value, negotiating playing and endorsement contracts on their behalf, and easing their transition from college to the NFL. The purpose of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to become a successful sports agent. To gain this understanding, I will research the best practices employed by NFL agents in supporting their clients, while highlighting both strong and weak examples from recent NFL history. By doing this research, I will better understand the tools I need to pursue a career as a sports agent.
