In the February 11, 1974 issue of Sports Illustrated, the WFL was making a move on the NFL, and the draft was their target. One year later, a 25-year old Leigh Steinberg entered the sports world when his UC-Berkeley friend Steve Bartkowski was the #1 overall pick of the NFL Draft and asked Leigh to be his agent... and with that, the door was opened for Leigh's incredible career. A record 8 times he has represented the top pick in the NFL Draft... and his clients include a who's who of NFL all-time greats from Warren Moon, Steve Young and Troy Aikman to Patrick Mahomes. We'll talk with Leigh about the impact he and his clients have made, his time as student body president and how Ronald Reagan influenced him in negotiating with both the NFL & WFL, being the character the fantastic film Jerry Maguirre is based on, and being 13 years sober. It's a great hour from one of the first Sports Agents ever.
