When does he stop being super agent?
Bummer. I want to pull for Gilbert in the pros but this makes it hard.
Just kidding good luck to GG not Steinberg. (June really has treated that POS well).

I wonder if GG gets drafted. Seemingly has all the physical tools teams look for in a QB and by all accounts he's a really good guy

Maybe if he does not get drafted Lee can get him a job at Arizona State.

I think GG has to get drafted, and I think he makes a roster.
Good luck to him. He was a lot of fun to watch at SMU.

Did Leigh represent his old man?

Wow. Pretty classless to bash Leigh on this board. He was one of the best sports agents ever who suffered from a horrible disease in alcoholism and lost everything because of it. He has been sober and trying to build his life and his business back from nothing. I applaud the man and wish him nothing but success and peace from his demons.

Do a google search on him. In addition to being an alcoholic, he stiffed a lot of people out of a lot of money. Ask Chad ?Morton how he feels about Steinberg.

Hope Gilbert has a long NFL career. If he makes Steinberg a bunch of money, so be it.

I wonder if Steinberg will take Gilbert out for drinks after the draft.

Why should anyone at SMI give two u know what's about being classy to Steinberg. How classy was he during the ASU fiasco and the 2013 extension. Will be glad when he and his previously lone client are gone.
