Adam Vinatieri
Indianapolis Colts
Kicker
“Gary Uberstine and Premier Sports saved me! First they got me paid like a Pro Bowler before I ever made a Pro Bowl. Then they launched a PR campaign that helped get me voted to 3 consecutive Pro Bowls. Last but not least, they arranged to get me traded to Kansas City where they negotiated the largest deal in Chiefs’ history for me. These guys have done it all for my family and I!”
- Patrick Surtain, CB (Kansas City Chiefs)
“Premier was the perfect choice for me. In addition to helping me get drafted higher than I was projected and getting me a great deal, they have been there for my family and I every step of the way. They pay attention to every little detail of everything I am involved with on and off the field to make sure I am protected and making the right decisions. Premier doesn’t just say that you’re family, they treat you like family.”
- Keary Colbert, WR (Carolina Panthers)
"My experience with Premier has been def. Premier gives you a family atmosphere with top notch people working hard for you every day. They handle any and every situation that comes up, not just with football but in life! Premier has not only educated me throughout the years, but prepared me for life beyond football. They helped me launch my business and taught me how to manage it in a smart and professional way!"
- Willie McGinest, OLB (Cleveland Browns)
