With the National Football League’s playoffs less than two weeks away, ex-commissioner and Covington & Burling senior counsel Paul Tagliabue’s reversal of the league’s controversial Bountygate bans earlier this month, and other players threatening litigation over management-mandated suspensions, The Am Law Daily decided this would be a good time to focus on the player agents who advocate for the interests of those that take the field.
One member of that fraternity, Albert Elias, died last week on a ski trip at the age of 41. Like most agents, Elias was a law school graduate, and at the time of his death had his own Dallas-based agency called Elias Sports Management.
