Nicole Lynn is making history as the first Black woman agent to represent an NFL quarterback in the Super Bowl!<\/p>\n

Nicole Lynn Represents Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts<\/h3>\n

According to AfroTech<\/a>, the NFL agent and attorney represents\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> quarterback Jalen Hurts<\/a>. Hurts, and his team, are gearing up to face the Kansas City Chiefs, and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes II<\/a>, at Super Bowl LVII on February 12.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

How Lynn And Hurts Inked Their Partnership<\/h3>\n

Lynn inked her partnership with Hurts by being fearless enough to send the football player a message on Instagram. At the time, Hurts had just played his final collegiate football game in Oklahoma and was preparing to be drafted into the league.<\/p>\n

\n

Hey, have you picked an agent? If not, I\u2019d love to link.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In conversation with Sports Illustrated<\/a>, Lynn described the moment as a \u201ctotal Hail Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

I didn\u2019t expect him to even see it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, Lynn recalled the \u201csynergy\u201d between her and Hurts\u2019 stories \u2014 she attended the University of Oklahoma College of Law. And her husband\u00a0played football for the\u00a0University of Oklahoma years before Hurts embarked on his collegiate career there.<\/p>\n

The football player was in the process of finding an agent when he opened Lynn\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

\n

I wanted to hear her out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hurts who dealt with doubters throughout his career saw the same fire and ability to persevere in Lynn upon meeting her.<\/p>\n

\n

That turns me up. It lights a fire in me. It does something to me, because I know I\u2019ll prove you wrong. But I saw that same fire in Nicole. She said, \u2018I\u2019m a woman. People are going to overlook me. People are going to doubt me. They\u2019re not going to give me the due respect. But I\u2019m overcoming it, just like you do.\u2019 And that\u2019s where we really hit it off. We had the same vision.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He explained to Sports Illustrated<\/a> that he was impressed with Lynn\u2019s unrelentless drive and determination.<\/p>\n

\n

I know the agent world in the NFL, and all sports, is very male-dominated. But Nicole was really on top of her stuff. She was prepared. She knew what she was talking about. She was hungry. And she was determined. And I feel that determination like that never rests. Once you come across such a determined individual, that just hits me a little different.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lynn\u2019s Additional Accolades And Accomplishments<\/h3>\n

In addition to becoming the first Black woman to represent a quarterback in the Super Bowl, Lynn is also the\u00a0first female agent to represent the NFL agency PlayersRep. According to AfroTech<\/a>, the sports management company was later acquired by Lil Wayne\u2019s Young Money APAA Sports Agency, in 2015.<\/p>\n

But the list of accomplishments doesn\u2019t end there. Lynn is also the \u201cfirst Black woman in league history to represent a top-three draft pick\u201d with her\u00a0client Quinnen Williams. In 2019, the New York Jets selected Williams as their \u201cthird overall pick that year,\u201d as reported by Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Nicole Lynn (@AgentNicoleLynn) April 26, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lynn signed her first client at just 26 years old. And continues to represent \u201cmore than a dozen NFL athletes\u201d today. The 34-year-old recently joined Klutch Sports Group\u00a0and is expected to bring her \u201cextensive portfolio of clients\u201d along with her.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s safe to say Lynn will continue to blaze trials in the NFL world, proving that she\u2019s not slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n

\n

Any time someone thinks of an agent, they\u2019re gonna think of me. The first person that\u2019s gonna come to their mind is a Black woman. I\u2019m the Jerry Maguire \u2014 that is who I am.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
