Relativity Sports Reps Industry-Leading Six Players In Round 1 Of NFL Draft

Relativity Sports led all agencies on Thursday with six players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, including three of the top eight picks. Athletes First represented four of the 32 players, while Lagardere Unlimited and SportStars had three apiece. Greg Genske and Kenny Felder of The Legacy Agency only repped one first-rounder, but it was the No. 1 overall selection by the Buccaneers, QB Jameis Winston. Overall, there were 18 different agencies repping Round 1 players. CAA Sports led all agencies in Round 1 last year with five players, but this year only had one. NFL agent Ben Dogra was reportedly fired by CAA in November, and he subsequently joined Relativity in February.
