Drew Rosenhaus

Drew Rosenhaus was born on October 29, 1966 in South Orange, New Jersey. Four years later his family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. Drew attended and graduated in 1987 from the University of Miami and, in 1990, obtained a law degree from Duke University School of Law. Drawing heavily from his college connections, twenty-four of Rosenhaus' 100-plus NFL clients are fellow University of Miami alumni. In 1989, at the age of 22, Drew became the youngest registered sports agent. In 2008, Rosenhaus has negotiated over one billion dollars in NFL contracts.

Rosenhaus sports
Rosenhaus' company is called Rosenhaus Sports Representation, which is abbreviated by RSR. The logo for Rosenhaus Sports are the letters RSR with the S similar to the Superman logo. In addition to Rosenhaus, other principals in the firm include Vice President Jason Rosenhaus (vice president), director of marketing Robert Bailey and director of client services Daniel F. Martoe.

Aggressive tactics
Rosenhaus is famously known for his aggressive approach to the representation of his NFL clients, and also for often generating large contracts for them. He represents some of the best-known and most flamboyant personalities in professional football. Early in his career he convinced NFL general managers to allow cameras to document negotiations.

Due to his aggressive dealings, some of Rosenhaus' competitors claim Rosenhaus sometimes violates NFL Player's Association (NFLPA) rules by illegally contacting clients signed with other agents. Rosenhaus and his clients deny this charge. His competitors also claim that Rosenhaus uses players to vigorously recruit other NFL players and prospects, which, if true, also would represent a violation of NFLPA policies. According to the NFLPA, however, there have been no formal findings of violations of their policies by Rosenhaus, though Rosenhaus' approach to client representation are considered some of the most controversial in professional football.
