Leigh Steinberg’s comeback continues with Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl MVP

Touchdown in Sobriety –

FEBRUARY 13, 2020  – It’s wonderful,” said Steinberg, who added that Mahomes is the kind of player and person he has always sought to represent, someone of high character and strong work ethic willing to be a role model and give back to the community. “Again, first of all because of the type of person he is. He has a unique skillset. I still love the opportunity to enhance the best values in young people and prepare them not only for their playing career, but for a second career.”

Steinberg, who turns 71 next month, has picked up a nice second wind himself.

A powerful agent since 1975, Steinberg had an all-star list of clients that included many who would become Hall of Famers, including Young, Troy Aikman — also a Super Bowl MVP — Warren Moon, Howie Long, Thurman Thomas, Derrick Thomas and Bruce Smith. Known for a squeaky clean image, he battled alcoholism and bankruptcy, and let his agent certification lapse.

Mr. Steinberg will receive the 11th Annual Experience, Strength and Hope Award  Thursday, March 19, 2020 in Los Angeles.
