McFadden, who wears No. 74 for the Chicago Bears, is making the move as he looks to lock in his NFL future after a steady climb through the league.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.athletesfirst.net\/\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McFadden, 26, was originally selected by the Los Angeles Chargers with the 156th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Clemson. He appeared in 12 games as a rookie in 2023, starting two, before being waived by the Chargers in January 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bears quickly claimed him off waivers, and after spending time on Chicago&#8217;s practice squad, McFadden was promoted to the active roster on December 6, 2025, just in time for a big matchup against the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the NFL, McFadden built one of the strongest r\u00e9sum\u00e9s in college football&#8217;s offensive line ranks. At Clemson, he took home the&nbsp;2022 Jacobs Blocking Trophy, the award given to the best blocker in the ACC, and earned&nbsp;First-Team All-ACC honors&nbsp;in his final college season. His ability to play both tackle and guard gives him valuable positional flexibility at the pro level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His new home, Athletes First, is no small player in the league. The Laguna Hills, California-based agency, founded in 2001, led all NFL agencies heading into the 2025 season with&nbsp;24 clients on the Top 100 list, nearly doubling second-place CAA Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The firm has negotiated over&nbsp;$2.9 billion&nbsp;in player contracts, with that kind of representation power attracting more NFL stars to the agency. New York Giants cornerback <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/cordale-flott-signs-with-athletes-first-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cor\u2019Dale Flott recently moved to Athletes First<\/a> ahead of free agency to position himself for a major new deal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing is a calculated move. McFadden is still proving himself as a depth player, but landing at Athletes First puts him in the same ecosystem as some of football&#8217;s biggest names and sharpest negotiators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an offensive lineman trying to earn a permanent starting spot, and eventually a meaningful contract, having elite representation isn&#8217;t optional; it&#8217;s a career accelerator.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/Articles\/2025\/09\/05\/athletes-first-leads-nfl-agencies-in-top-100-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Athletes First&#8217;s willingness to sign developmental players like McFadden also says something about their approach: they&#8217;re not just collecting stars; they&#8217;re building a talent pipeline from the ground up. That&#8217;s a long game, and it usually pays off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could aligning with a powerhouse like Athletes First speed up McFadden&#8217;s path to a starting role ? Could McFadden follow the path of other Athletes First clients who went from depth signings to marquee contracts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name: Jordan McFadden New Company: Athletes First Primary Agent: Olivia Green Department: NFL Football Representation Territory: United States NFL offensive lineman Jordan McFadden has officially signed with Athletes First for representation.
