Who does AEA represent?

Current clients include defensive lineman Damon Payne Jr., who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2026; quarterback Chris Parson of Austin Peay; and safety Caleb Williams, who went from Furman to South Carolina State. Every athlete AEA represents is positioned as a person and a professional, with a plan built around their goals.
Does AEA work with NFL players?
Yes. AEA’s founder, Steven Fantetti, is an NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor, which allows him to negotiate NFL player contracts and represent NFL players. AEA client Damon Payne Jr. signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2026, and AEA supports professional athletes with contracts, endorsements, marketing, and off-field business management.
Does AEA represent high school athletes?
Yes, through their families. If you are a high school athlete, your parent or legal guardian must contact AEA directly on your behalf. AEA represents high school and collegiate athletes in protecting the rights tied to their name, image, and likeness, and gives families a clear, informed advocate who explains the stakes and keeps the athlete’s long-term well-being in view.
How does AEA build a plan for each athlete?
AEA starts by listening to the athlete’s goals and clarifying what is at stake right now. Then AEA explains how it can protect and advance the athlete, shows the services that fit, and defines the next decision and its timeline. The plan connects representation, NIL, brand, and off-field business, because each decision affects the athlete’s leverage, reputation, and future.
