What does an NFL sports agent actually do behind the scenes?
In this episode of Behind the Sport, host Giovanna sits down with NFL-certified agent Alex Campbell to break down the realities of working with professional athletes, navigating the chaos of the NIL era, and preparing players for the NFL Draft.

Alex shares how he went from practicing law to becoming an NFL agent, the year-long certification process most people don’t know about, and why the job is far more than negotiating contracts. From managing athletes as businesses to guiding them through the biggest four-month job interview of their lives—the road to the NFL Draft—this conversation pulls back the curtain on an industry few people truly understand.

They also dive deep into the rapidly changing world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), the explosion of new “agents,” and why today’s landscape can feel like the Wild West for college athletes.

Plus, Alex explains:
- Why the NFL Combine is more about medical evaluations than performance
- The biggest misconception about sports agents
- Why trust and culture matter more than talent when signing clients
- How NIL is changing the future of college sports

If you’re interested in sports business, NIL, the NFL Draft, or athlete representation, this episode gives you an inside look at one of the most important roles in modern sports.

🎙 Behind the Sport (BTS) explores the untold stories shaping the sports world—beyond the game.

In this episode of Behind the Sport (BTS), we explore the intersection of sports, fashion, and self-expression with the creator behind Game Day Runway.

From NFL tunnel walks to NBA pre-game fits, athlete fashion has quietly become its own runway moment. But what do these outfits actually say about the athletes wearing them?

We talk about:
- How Game Day Runway started from a simple observation about athlete style
- Why fashion is one of the purest forms of communication
- The growing culture of sports tunnel fits and athlete storytelling
- The difference between a “Fit” and a “Fumble” when it comes to game-day outfits
- The behind-the-scenes work of stylists who create iconic looks
- Why confidence and personal expression are at the center of style

We also dive into Megan’s background in the fashion industry, her experience working in retail and merchandising, and how she turned her passion into a platform that educates fans on athlete style.

Plus, she shares an incredible personal story about her cousin Jack Wallace, a member of the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team, and how athletes’ mindset and preparation influence everything—including what they wear.
If you love sports culture, athlete personalities, fashion, or storytelling, this episode gives you a new perspective on the moments before the game even starts.
