Nicole Lynn, President of Football for Klutch Sports, is a powerhouse in sports law, representing elite NFL athletes like Jalen Hurts, Myles Garrett, and Breece Hall in some of the league’s most important contracts. Moderated by attorney and former NFL player Dominique Price, this course explores the negotiation of high-profile contracts under the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement and associated salary cap.
In 2019, Nicole Lynn became the first Black woman to represent a Top 3 NFL draft pick (and only the second woman in history to solo represent an NFL first-rounder). The following year, Lynn again made history, representing back-to-back Top 10 NFL draft picks. Since then, she has gone on to represent top NFL clients such as Jalen Hurts, Myles Garrett, Quinnen Williams, Breece Hall, Ed Ingram, and many others. Named by Sports Illustrated as one of the most powerful women in sports, Lynn began her illustrious career by signing her first client at only 26. In 2021, Lynn joined the team at Klutch Sports Group as their new President of Football.
