First Time Ever – Most NFL 1st-Round Picks Have Black Agents

While global changes continue to be driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is another kind of change occurring in the world of professional sports.

This growth marks a notable shift in who the front-line influencers are that help direct the careers and earnings of Black athletes.

That one of these Black agents is a woman makes this shift all the more worthy of celebration. To join the celebration and learn more, grab some confetti and click here.
