An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.
Obviously, drafts sometimes are good ones, or bad ones; I think you can get a good, quality player late in the lottery.
Your relationship with an agent has got to be mutually beneficial. If you can't help their careers, then they're not going to be interested.
The type of athletes we draft still need types of versatility on the defense side of the ball, run the offense. You should still be concerned on the offense side of the ball.
My job, when it comes to free agency, trades, is not to pick players, but support the personnel department and the coaching staff. We have to have the financial resources to make things happen and that's my job.
When you are a free agent like I was, it definitely makes a big difference when you know there's stability at the quarterback position.
Once you get into the NFL, it doesn't matter what draft pick you are, what round you are, if you're undrafted or not. It's football time again. The draft, all of that doesn't matter anymore.
I'm very lucky in that my agent and my editors know better. They don't push me. Because I don't take that well.
The best way to stop the problem of agents would be for the NCAA to come down hard and suspend a school for two years if it finds players with agents on campus.
I've always thought that having an attractive free agent is better than a guy who was picked in the seventh round.
