Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty Announces Significant Career News on Thursday

Klutch Sports was previously mostly known for representing basketball players due to its close ties to LeBron James and his agent, Rich Paul. However, they've been expanding to the NFL and other sports in recent years. Jeanty is just the latest big client for the agency to land.

What Agency Change Means for Jeanty

It's unclear why Jeanty wanted to change agencies so early in his career. He was already getting many sponsorships.

That said, it's easy to see why a player like Jeanty would want to move to Klutch Sports. Myles Garrett, Jalen Hurts and Quinnen Williams are just a few of the big clients that Lynn and Klutch represent.

Notably, Lynn helped make Garrett the highest-paid defensive player ever before TJ Watt and Micah Parsons got their new deals. It's wise for Jeanty to go with a powerful agent like Lynn.

Running backs have had a hard time getting big contracts for years. Jeanty has a chance to be one of the best players at the position by the time his rookie deal is up. He's going to eventually want to get paid, and Klutch is a strong agency to have in his corner.
