In a world where she’s an outsider in multiple ways, Nicole Lynn cannot be ignored. After negotiating Jalen Hurts' record-breaking NFL contract, Lynn has shown once again she can impact the male-dominated agent field. ✍️ ByJasonJones
There’s no denying the NFL is dominated by men — mainly White men — when it comes to power-broking moves made around the league. From coaches to agents and powerful influences in the media, football is a man’s game.
Stereotypes and misogyny are still prevalent, and there are certainly players who only saw Lynn as “Nicole” and wanted nothing to do with her as an agent. It can be easy for some to accept that this is how things simply are supposed to be. Even though nearly 70 percent of the players in the league are Black, many players still carry some of the same biases when looking to hire an agent.There are men who will hate just because they can.
Lynn has been with Klutch Sports Group since 2021 and was promoted to president of football operations for the agency founded by Rich Paul, who brought his own seat to the table of the world of NBA agents. Like Lynn, Paul once was an outsider in the sports business world. And like Paul, Lynn now is someone who has become synonymous with some of the biggest names in sports.
Hurts did what a lot of men wouldn’t have done in sports. He trusted a woman with his career — and it paid off. Lynn’s success is also changing what we think of when we think of a sports agent.
