Concurrent with its launch, Paragon acquired the sports management firm of Steve Feldman & Associates, led by National Football League (NFL) agent Steve Feldman.

consisting of approximately 27 NFL players as well as gross annual client contracts of upward $50 million.
The new agency’s plans also to include representing players from
Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and coaches, as well as establishing a marketing division.
Paragon’s President Hugh Dodson said: “I see this as a good first step in establishing a multi-faceted, multi-disciplined approach to representation. Steve and I have worked together for two years and know from experience that this model works well and we look forward to building a strong foundation of support for our clients.”
