As the 2024 NFL Draft quickly approaches there is more discussion around the question everyone wants the answer to: Who will be the No. 1 overall pick?
Former UNC Football quarterback Drake Maye hopes to hear his name called and is one of a select few players in this year's draft to have a chance at being the top selection. Now that it is inching closer to draft day and players beginning their professional careers, that also means finding an agent for representation.
Choosing the right agent can be critical for a professional athlete who knows who they are and what they want so that when it comes time to negotiate and advocate for them, they can to the best of their ability.
