NFL Agent Ron Slavin joins Mike and Russell on Episode 3 of the Off The Plate Podcast. Ron represents a number big time players across the NFL, including Dallas Cowboy Leighton Vander Esch.

Ron talks about Jay Glazer approaching him about working with new Dallas Cowboy Aldon Smith, how Aldon ended up with the boys, and why Ron is confident that Aldon has turned the corner in his life. The Cowboys pride themselves on supporting and working with players that have prior off the field the struggles, but Ron and his team wanted a different system for Aldon.

Ron shares his story of how befriending Heisman Trophy Winner Ron Dayne was an early step towards becoming an agent. If you think being an agent is all glitz and glamour, think again. It may sound cliche, but Ron is glued to his phone. Stick around till the end of the show when Ron shares how many text messages and calls he missed in the hour he visited with us.

Ron has been successful because he tells it like it is, and he doesn’t pull any punches. It gets real when we discuss how some agents do business.
