Samantha "Sam" Tiger '16, '19 received her bachelor's and MBA in sports management at Lynn University. At the time, she was running her own management company, assisting with marketing services, contract negotiation, consultations and celebrity booking for athletes. Today, as a National Football League (NFL) Players Association certified contract advisor, she currently represents multiple NFL clients, former players within the marketing and media space, and current college athletes within the "name, image and likeness" space.

Tiger's passion for sports, especially football, began early. She analyzed players, watched games and was driven to pursue a career in the industry. Today, she's living her dream as an NFL agent—advocating for players and celebrating their successes. 

"Walking beside my clients and watching them accomplish their dreams is the most rewarding feeling," said Tiger. In addition to her agent duties, Tiger also serves as an adjunct professor in the College of Business and Management at Lynn, where she teaches a sports management course.
