Washington Football team linebacker Keishawn Bierria joins teammate Azeem Victor as he takes his first step towards an NFL career by signing his agent
The Washington Football team will need to fill another set of big shoes this off-season. Following linebacker Azeem Victor, standout Keishawn Bierria now joins his teammate in aiming at an NFL career. And similar to Victor, Bierria has taken his first step towards an NFL career by signing up with Best Football Agency.
After all, it’s not surprising that an NFL hopeful and talented linebacker should commit to an agent as he prepares for the NFL Combine and 2018 NFL Draft. In fact, the outcome of these two events dictate a great deal about a football player’s future. As such, it’s wise for any athlete heading to events of this magnitude to seek a guide. In the end, the sports agents have been there, done that, before.
2018 NFL Combine
On March 1, 2018, Keishawn Bierria will join seven hopeful Washington Football players invited to the 2017 NFL Combine. And from our perspective, it’s hard to truly describe the intense pressure placed on each young man at the combine. This is a make-or-break moment for each athlete. And so, no true opportunities for a do-over.
From the moment each player arrives, they are subject to scoring of potential fit with each NFL football team. Height, weight, confidence, subject matter knowledge, perspective, and physical strength, speed, agility, endurance, and accuracy will all be graded. But most of all, it is validating the play on the field. In the end, the decisions happen in the video room. Then the combine confirms the decision.
