Super agent Leigh Steinberg dishes on Mahomes mania: 'Patrick is a national phenomenon'

Leigh Steinberg is representing the NFL's hottest player, reigning MVP and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He's represented eight Hall of Famers, including quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Steve Young, during their playing days.

Given his experience and tenure, Steinberg is among the most knowledgeable in the sports world. He's mentored people such as TCU athletics director Jeremiah Donati and Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza. He's also groomed other high-profile agents who have since broken off on their own such as Athletes First's David Dunn and Rep1's Bruce and Ryan Tollner.

Steinberg will share what he's learned over the years later this month at the Steinberg Sports Career Conference on March 23 at SMU, a program he started geared toward those interested in working in sports.

The daylong seminar features speakers from, among others, the Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks and Panini, and is designed to give attendees a real-life perspective on how the industry works.

The seminar is $250 for professionals and $150 for students.

Steinberg, who inspired the Oscar-nominated film Jerry Maguire, talked about the seminars and other pressing NFL topics with the Star-Telegram.
