The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams. The headings at the top of each column refer to the selector (see legend after chart).

    After the Buzzer Episode 14: Sports Agent Leigh Steinberg Date posted: February 4, 2021 Bob Wallace: Welcome to After the Buzzer. I’m Bob Wallace, Chair of the Sports Law Practice at Thompson Coburn in St. Louis. We specialize in representing entities with sports interests. Whether it’s acquisitions, facilities, finance, real estate deals or contract negotiations, we have lawyers with a lot of experience. I started doing these podcasts because there are a lot of great topics and people involved in sports and I wanted to let our listeners meet them. Today’s guest is noted sports agent Leigh Steinberg. Leigh has been one of the leading sports agents for over 40 years. He was known as the “quarterback's agent,” having represented Hall of Famers Warren Moon, Troy Aikman and Steve Young. Today, Leigh is representing last year’s MVP, Patrick Mahomes, and up and coming star, among many others. I got to know Leigh in 1981 when he represented St. Louis football Cardinals quarterback, Neil Lomax. Over the years, we’ve negotiated several contracts for Cardinal players. I claim our negotiation for Tim McDonald was the basis of the “Show Me the Money” scene in Jerry McGuire, in which many credit Leigh’s career as the inspiration for the movie which of course makes perfect sense. Additionally, Leigh has represented 64 total first round NFL picks including the number one pick and unprecedented eight times with 11 Hall of Fame players. I may him can he name those later. With over 300 professional athlete clients and over $4 billion dollars in contracts negotiated not to mention $750 million dollars in charitable funds raised, Leigh Steinberg is a sports agent legend.
