Sports Agent Selection

By Duane Morris 

Sports Agent Selection

It is that time of year again where NFL prospects are selecting agents and agents are intensively recruiting player clients. This recruitment and the unfortunate opportunity for wrong doing  will go on through the various All Star games and the end of NCAA eligibility for the players. There is much for both sides to be cautious about. For athletes, it is obviously making sure that they select the right agent for their circumstances. The elements that go into "who is the right agent" are complex. I wrote about many of these issues with my co-author Timothy Davis in   The Business of Sports Agents .  The key for athletes, family , and advisors is to take charge of the selection process. Recent reports about Robert Griffin III are illustrative of how difficult this can be. Here is an example of awarning issued to prospective agents by RGIII's dad. For agents the key in this season is to make sure you are in touch with the right decision makers.  The overall focus should be to abide by the regulations of the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA).
