Kevin M. Gold of Rhoads & Sinon recently authored a chapter in FOOTBALL Rising to the Challenge: The Transition from College to Pro, published by Jones and Bartlett Publishers.  The primary author is Geoffrey Scott, a Professor of Law at Penn State Dickinson School of Law.

In his chapter, titled “Representing Players on the Fringe: An Agent’s Perspective”, Gold discusses the realities and options that football players must consider when they are not drafted or are initially overlooked by teams, but still yearn to play professional football.

The book is designed to assist college football players with the myriad of issues they face when attempting to purse a career in a professional football career.  The book features over 40 original essays from professional football players, coaches, team executives, and agents and lawyers, like Gold.  Other contributors include Penn State Head Football Coach, Joe Paterno and former NFL players Bruce Smith and Darrell Green. 

The book can be purchased from the publisher through Gold’s website at longsnap.com.
