 NFL Executives
   
"I've done a lot of deals with ProFiles and they are always very well prepared no matter whether we are negotiating a big veteran contract, a first round contract, or an undrafted free agent contract. Pat, Bill, and their team also provide our players with that extra care that we all hope our players will receive."
 
Bruce Allen
General Manger
Tampa Bay Bucs
  


 
   
"We have had several of ProFiles' clients on our teams over the years, so I am very familiar with Pat and Bill. Although they are strong advocates for their clients, they know how to get a good deal while maintaining a positive relationship with the team."
 
Joe Banner
President/Chief Operating Officer
Philadelphia Eagles
  


 
   
"In 2003 and 2004, we negotiated two contracts with ProFiles totaling nearly $70 million dollars for Pro Bowl players, Keith Brooking and Rod Coleman. Given the magnitude of the contracts, I was very involved directly and indirectly with both of the negotiations. Although Pat and Bill were very aggressive on behalf of their clients, they were, at all times, professional, well prepared, honest and clearly had their clients' best interests at heart."

"I have known Pat and dealt with him going all the way back to when we drafted Emmitt Smith in 1990. We have done a lot of business together on a number of players through the years, most recently on our 2005 first round draft pick, DeMarcus Ware. Pat is a strong advocate for his clients, he's always professional and well prepared and every one of his players that we have had is a high character individual, which speaks highly of Pat."
 
Jerry Jones
Owner
Dallas Cowboys
  


 
   
"I've known of Pat and his family since the 1970's when his father was an assistant coach at Alabama, where I played college ball. I have known Pat professionally ever since I started working in the Browns front office. He knows football because he grew up around the game and that helps him a lot in advising his clients during their career. I also know that I can trust Pat."

General Manger & Executive Vice President

“Pat's clients are all strong character guys and that is pretty much a reflection of Pat. There aren’t a lot of guys in his line I would trust if I had a kid who needed an agent, but he is one of ‘em.”
 

Coach Bill Parcells
Two time Super Bowl champion
Miami Dolphins

 


 
   
"With Pat's football family heritage and some 20 years experience as an NFL agent, he knows the game, he always knows the people he's negotiating with, and he knows the nuances of the NFL salary cap, which are all big advantages for his clients."

General Manager

Clients

 

   
“Coming out of college I was heavily recruited, but I narrowed my agent choices to ProFiles and another agency. I went with the other agency, but after four years in the league, I realized I made a mistake and switched. After six years with ProFiles, I now know what it feels like to have great representation. My only regret is not signing with them from the beginning."
 
Keith Brooking
Linebacker
Atlanta Falcons
 


 
   
“Playing for a small school like Appalachian State, I knew that I needed an agency with strong NFL connections and someone who could create exposure for me with NFL teams before the draft. I hired the right people because I had a huge NFL turnout for my workouts and I was drafted higher than any player from my school in modern history. I went on to play for 10 years and made multiple Pro Bowls.”

Linebacker

"As a 5th round draft pick out of East Carolina, I could have easily gotten lost in the shuffle on the ProFiles client list. But Bill and everyone at ProFiles treated me like a star, even though I barely made my team my first two seasons. Five years into my career, our belief in each other paid off when I signed a record breaking contract with the Falcons and started going to the Pro Bowl. They treat me now just like they did when I was a 5th rounder - like a star."
 
Rod Coleman
Defensive Tackle
  


 
   
“I was a top three pick, but my NFL career got off to a rough start with injuries and and being released after only three years. But, Pat never lost faith in me and got me on with a contender. After that, I signed $36 million dollars in contracts, went to two Pro Bowls, and played in the playoffs nearly every season. Pat truly helped turn my career around and I went on to play for 12 seasons.”

"Going into the last year of my rookie contract, I probably would have jumped at most anything the Saints offered, but Bill told me to be patient, play well that last year, and he would take care of the contract. Well, after doing my part, Bill got me the biggest contract in Saints history, a $63 million dollar contract with $20 million guaranteed. It blew away my wildest expectations."

“When I was being recruited my senior year at Auburn, other agents were always running Pat down. It was pretty obvious they were knocking him because of all the success he had had there in the past. But when I talked to all of Pat’s Auburn clients, they said great things and it was pretty much a no-brainer to go with ProFiles. After working with him for the last year and being the only first round OG, I couldn’t be happier with my decision…”
 
Ben Grubbs
Offensive Guard
Baltimore Ravens
  


 
   
“Because Pat obeyed the UF rules and didn’t contact me during the season, I didn’t know him personally at all when he met with me and the UF Sports Counseling Panel. After meeting with him, the panel and I knew immediately he could help me overcome a few things. He helped save my first round draft situation, and he has been a very cool guy in some very stressful situations.”
 
Jarvis Moss
Defensive End

"When I came out of Auburn, Pat believed I could play in the NFL. When I was not drafted, Pat's belief in me never wavered. Going into my 15th NFL season, I have been blessed to have played in three Pro Bowls and signed five different contracts. Being the second highest ranked member of the NFL Players Association Executive Committee, I understand the value an agent brings to our game. I have been with Pat all 15 years of my NFL career and I know he always represents me with the utmost class and professionalism. I can assure you that Pat and the ProFiles team has an outstanding reputation around the league."

“ After winning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, NFL Defensive MVP and going to several Pro Bowls, I had a lot of agents trying to pick me up as a client. However, after seeing Pat and Bill continue to get extraordinary contracts for non Pro Bowl players, I decided to hire them to negotiate my next contract, even though they weren’t among the agents chasing me.”
 
Brian Urlacher
Linebacker

“Coming out of college, I narrowed my agent choices to ProFiles and the biggest firm in the business, and I chose to go with the big firm. I subsequently left the big firm and signed with ProFiles and it’s proven to be a great move. To me, ProFiles has all the ‘big firm’ resources, experience and connections, but provides a level of personal attention you will only find with a smaller firm.”

"I grew up in Auburn where Pat's father was a legend and I had also heard good things about Pat. But, I wasn't sure going to stop there. I heard full blown presentations from 32 different agents from around the country. I talked to Pat's clients and I talked to some of my college coaches who he had represented during their NFL career. After hearing nothing but positive things about Pat, I realized I was making this process more complicated than it needed to be and chose Pat and his team at ProFiles. After becoming the first 1st round draft pick in Troy history and working with ProFiles for nearly four years, I could not be happier with my decision."
 
DeMarcus Ware
Linebacker

“At FSU, our campus was swarming with agents, but my wife and I knew from the first time we talked with Bill that he and ProFiles were different. They seemed to sincerely care about us as people and not just as another recruit or future client. To tell you what kind of people they are – I was ready to sign with them after my junior year, but they practically took the pen out of my hand and insisted that I would benefit from another year, even if it meant losing me the following year. I came back, improved my draft status, signed with ProFiles and they’ve been even better than I thought they would be.”

"I don't know what we'd do without ProFiles and all of the personal service they provide us. Pat and Bill took the time to help Keith find my engagement ring. Chandra and Randi basically planned our engagement, our wedding, and our honeymoon from A to Z. Literally, anytime we need something, we call ProFiles first and they can handle it 90% of the time. If they can't do it themselves, they immediately find someone who can."

“Pat has a great gift for dealing with people. He’s one of the few agents who came into our house and made us feel comfortable. That’s important, because you are recruiting the parents as much as the player. He represented Garrison during his 12 year NFL career and he’s always in our thoughts.”
 
Mary Hearst
Garrison Hearst’s Mother
  


 
   
"During the recruiting process, we were approached by many agents. We listened to the majority of them, mostly to learn as we went along. After narrowing our selection, we then made site visits. We were really impressed with Bill Johnson and the staff at ProFiles Sports. They were very attentive, but seemed the most sincere and dedicated to their players. Roman received the utmost care and the care has continued since he signed with them. We have been very pleased with their professionalism and honesty. Bill is like a family friend, but one who looks out for our son and puts Roman’s well being above all else. We have been pleased and feel especially blessed to have selected Bill Johnson and ProFiles Sports."

"I call ProFiles all the time for help with hotel reservations, extra tickets to Charles' games, dinner plans and basically anything I need. I know Charles calls them with stuff all the time too. They are always happy to help and the biggest thing is they get it done every time."
 
Theresa Warren
Charles Grant's Mother
  


 
   
"When it appeared that my son had a chance to play in the NFL, we approached his choice of an agent very seriously.  A lot has changed since I played in the late 70’s and early 80’s, and nowadays the player-agent relationship is crucial to a young player’s successful entrance into and his adjustment to life in the NFL.  Pat came highly recommended to us by many people we trusted. Early on we could sense his integrity, competence, and genuine respect for our family.  Thus far, Pat and his group at ProFiles have more than lived up to their excellent reputation."
