PHILADELPHIA — Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts recently became the highest paid player in NFL history, engineered by his star agent, Nicole Lynn, who’s blazing a trail in the agency world.
The Tulsa, Okla., native, broke into the industry as the first female agent at PlayersRep in 2015 (later acquired by Young Money APAA Sports Agency) and has been on an upward trajectory since. She joined Klutch Sports Agency, led by Rich Paul, in 2021.
She’s the first Black woman and just the third woman ever to be the agent of a first-round pick (Quinnen Williams, 2019) and the first Black woman to represent a quarterback in the Super Bowl, but Lynn’s reach extends beyond the field.
