""At 6-foot-3, 244 pounds, Richard Dickson doesn't have the prototypical size to move to tight end, but he could do a lot in an H-back/FB role. He has good, not great, point of attack skills so while he doesn't explode through a hole, he shows good technique, keeps his legs under him and keeps them moving and shows good balance. He would be a solid blocker but where he'd help a team is in the passing game. He has soft, natural hands and caught the ball away from his frame during warm-ups, drills and team spots. For example, he caught a screen and showed some elusiveness by making a guy miss for a 15-yard gain."" - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Richard Dickson, our new client at Elias Sports Management, is the most prolific tight end in LSU history.  Seriously... he owns just about every LSU record a tight end can earn.  And, considering how many great tight ends have played a part in the school's storied history, to be able to claim all of those accomplishments speaks volumes about just how good of a player Richard is." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Al Woods, former LSU Tiger and current client of Elias Sports Management, was one of the top recruits to come out of high school.  Seriously... this man is a FIVE STAR player, and there are a lot of teams out there who love the guy as much as I do and are hungry to have him." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Boo Robinson's athletic ability is OFF THE CHARTS!  And, to boot, he's a sharp-minded kid with a great personality and killer character.  Wake Forest did a GREAT job of seasoning him." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"WOW!!! Elias Sports Management (ESM) just capped off a GREAT 2010 NFL draft class! Honestly... I believe we landed three of the best players out there!" - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Obviously, you need to be an incredible athlete to play in the NFL, but, unbeknownst to many in my industry, there's one attribute you absolutely have to look for in a prospect more than anything: quality character.  And my new guys are loaded with it." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Hey, y'all.  Sorry it's been a minute since I last posted something - things have been craaaaaazy busy, lately.  So since I've left my virtual life a little lonely the past week, I wanna give you guys a quick update on a couple things." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Tiger... I'm a HUGE fan of yours on the golf course.  As a former golfer at LSU, I understand how ridiculously impossible it is to accomplish what you've achieved.  But, man... what you've done off the course is NOT something I'm gonna be able to admire you for.  You dun screwed UP!" - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Last summer, there was some doubt as to whether or not Elias Sports Management client, Greg Fassitt, was going to continue chasing his NFL dreams.  The odds just didn't seem to be in his favor, but the dude pushed forward, anyway." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"A few weeks ago, I posted a couple of webisodes about how Elias Sports Management client, Herman Johnson, was going to be paying a visit to his childhood school in Denton, Texas, Lee Elementary.  Well, my buddy, Owen Benatar, of U Edit Video, did a GREAT job of documenting the visit on film.  So, below, you'll find the video he put together that perfectly illustrates just how special of a person "Big Herm" is." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Unless you're a professional football player, you typically play casual games in your backyard with good friends.  And as you play, you oftentimes dream of what it would be like if you and your buddy were ever able to square-off against one another in front of a packed house of screaming NFL fans.   This past Sunday, best friends, Rudy Niswanger and Kyle Williams, had their backyard dreams come true." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"I can't express to you enough how pumped I get when opportunities come along where I get to go visit the Tigers.  Even though, at the end of each day, I represent all players equally, no matter what school they come from, my heart can't help but bleed a little more Purple & Gold than the colors of other college teams.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of EEEEVERY team, simply because I'm a fan of watching NFL dreams come true for the players.  But LSU is where I went to school, man!  It's my home... it's my family... it's LITERALLY in my blood!" - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"I'm on the road to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for Crimson Tide Agent Day, baybay! Bama's got a great process for how they handle agent day.  The players put in requests of which agents they want to meet with, and then I hopefully get a call to come and have a face-to-face with them.  Because of this by-the-book process, every agent gets a fair shot to lock down players." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"I love seeing my guys get good publicity - it makes all of us look good.  Here's a recent piece that ran in SOBeFiT Magazine about Elias Sports Management client, Jarvis Green's methodology to staying healthy and fit..." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"My client, Kyle Williams, is ranked 2ND amongst all defensive lineman in the NFL in total tackles, despite having missed THREE GAMES with a knee injury!  That's just CRAZY! Kyle's stats include 51 tackles, 3 sacks, and 1 forced fumble! Way to go, man!" - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Since everyone thinks football is such a macho sport, they assume that players should be able to suck it up and play while they’re injured.  Well, that’s about the most naive belief I’ve ever heard of.  If you’re a player in the NFL who’s making five million dollars a year to play a GAME and some bad luck blows out your knee, you’re gonna be stuck in a pretty rough situation.  You can either take your time to rehab your injury with the utmost care, or you can rush your recovery, return to the field prematurely, and then potentially re-injure the same knee so badly that it ends your career." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"When a professional athlete becomes injured, the organization they play for typically begins to ask itself the following question... "How can we get this player back on the field as quickly as possible?" However, on the other side of the table, you have the player's agent who is asking himself a question that sometimes doesn't match what the client's team has under consideration... "What actions should be taken to assure my client a timely recovery, yet, at the same time, won't rush the healing process in a way that could potentially shorten their overall career?" Do you see the difference between the two perspectives?" - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Not only is Jarvis (client of Elias Sports Management) a killer cook, but he's also a legitimate wine expert, as well.  Check out the following article that sheds some light upon a passion of Jarvis' you may not have been previously aware of..." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

Here's his profile again... http://friendfeed.com/chrisha... - Albert Elias

"Jarvis Green, defensive lineman for the New England Patriots, can take down 300 lb football players, but that's not his only talent -- the man can also pick out a mean bottle of red." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

My boy, Jarvis, knows his way around the kitchen! - Albert Elias

"Once again, Herman Johnson, Arizona Cardinal and client of Elias Sports Management, is proving himself to be a real class act.  This coming Tuesday, he's going to be making a trip to Denton, Texas where he'll donate a little bit of his money and motivation to the school he used to call home, Lee Elementary, as well as a second donation to the Ann Windle School for Young Children." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"I gotta take a moment to give a shout-out to our country's war Veterans, as well as all the brave men and women who are currently putting their lives on the line in Afghanistan and the other danger zones around the world, where they're doing everything they can do to bring Peace to The People. I really don't have the words to explain how appreciative I am for their services;  please just know that I am, forever and always..." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Chicago, Illinois - it's easily one of my favorite cities in the country, not just because it's an incredible town, but because it's also the home of one the best organizations in the NFL: the Bears.   I went there this past weekend to check out a game and check in on my boy Kevin Payne.  And to make the trip even sweeter, I was able to bring a group of my closest friends with me, because I always like to take them to at least one game per year so they can kinda experience what an agent does on a daily basis.  I really wish I could bring them along more often." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

I swear... I couldn't ask for a better roster of clients. Take a look at what my boy, Travis Daniels (he re-signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this week), had to say about his journey back to the NFL and how I had a hand in helping him get there... - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet

"Here's a list of the interview's football related highlights (begins at about the five minute mark): - The Cleveland Browns are struggling, so is the Bears' recent victory against them that much of an accomplishment? - After having a few rough games, what does a victory do for a team's confidence? - What does Kevin plan on doing, personally, to help the team throughout the rest of the season? - What's it like playing for a team whose fans are so incredibly passionate about them? Enjoy..." - Albert Elias from Bookmarklet
