CAA NFL Agent Tom Condon Profiled As One Who "Shuns The Spotlight," "Isn't Flashy"

CAA's Tom Condon, who "oversees a star-studded list of NFL clients," is a "star in his business, but shuns the spotlight," according to a profile by Ralph Vacchiano of the N.Y. DAILY NEWS. His stable of athletes includes Giants QB Eli Manning, Broncos QB Peyton Manning, Panthers LB Luke Kuechly and Texans DE J.J. Watt. Condon "had 25 players make the Pro Bowl" in '15. He has "negotiated 49 contracts" with at least $30M in guaranteed money -- "11 that had guarantees" of $50M or more. Condon has "amassed a personal fortune, but isn’t flashy." He now "focuses on quarterbacks, receivers, tackles, cornerbacks and pass rushers -- the most important (and most highly-paid) players in an increasingly pass-happy league." He added that he prefers "great character, intelligent, stand-up guys" as clients. Condon said the one thing that has never changed in the business is players "are attracted to getting free stuff." Condon: "It doesn’t make any difference how much money they have, if there’s some free stuff, they want it." What Condon "wants most is to do his job quietly and in relative anonymity, to 'work hard, do your best and compete well enough that you have a chance to come out on top and reward their trust'" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 6/28).
