Athletes First Partner and NFL Agent Kyle McCarthy was featured in this week’s Sports Business Journal in an article about the NFL Draft experience for agents and their clients.
Kyle shared insight into the realities behind the scenes, from working the phones across the league to helping players and their families navigate one of the most important moments of their careers.
We are proud to see Kyle featured and to support our clients every step of the way through the draft process and beyond.
Our friends at AMP Sports prominently featured our partnership at their annual upfront.
Held in New York City, the event brought together leaders from across AMP Media and Sinclair’s portfolio for an exclusive look at the future of their sports programming and content.
We look forward to building on this momentum in year two of the partnership, with more incredible moments ahead on the Tailgate Tour and at The Block.
