At JL Sports we understand that choosing an agent to represent your son is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. And because we want you to make the most informed decision possible, we think it’s important to hear what parents who have been in the same position have to say.

Why should JL Sports represent my son?

“This is the most important decision you will make over the next several weeks. We approached choosing an agent from the perspective that, if you make the right choice now, you won’t have to do it again.

Finding an agent who sincerely cares about your son, has NFL contacts with coaches and staff and who has a reputation in the league for knowledge of the game and sound player evaluation skills is of prime importance.

JL Sports enjoys all of these qualities including personal integrity and high moral standards. I’m proud to have my son represented by JL Sports and Joe Linta.”

- Mr. Richard Miller, father of Jim Miller, Ex-NFL QB

What should I look for in an agent?

“The most important thing anybody looking to go into professional football should look for is honesty. Anybody can tell you what you want to hear. Our son got straight answers from the start of the recruiting process. That remained true all the way through the draft. It’s important to feel as if you can trust the people responsible for your son’s career. In fact, that is the only thing that matters.”

-Ms. Elsie Okobi, mother of Chukky Okobi, Pittsburgh Steelers

How does the process work?

“JL Sports described step-by-step what was going to happen to our son. From the moment he signed, we felt that we could pick up the phone and call to ask them anything and they had the answers. They informed us honestly about what to expect without making any false promises. They were 150% behind our son.

It’s amazing how much time and effort as well as personal caring they put into their players and parents.”

- Mr. Fred Putzier, father of Jeb Putzier, Houston Texans
