Aaron Henderson
DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL STRATEGY, VANGUARD SPORTS GROUP
Aaron is an NFL and NBA agent at Vanguard Sports Group and a rising talent in the sports industry. In 2015, Aaron was certified by the NFLPA as an agent and founded his own independent sports agency at just 23 years old. In 2017, he became one of the few NFL agents in history to represent a Top 100 NFL Draft pick while still enrolled in law school. That same year, Front Office Sports honored Aaron as one of its “Rising 25” sports industry leaders age 25 and under. In 2018 he was certified by the NBPA as an agent, becoming one of the youngest dual certified NFL and NBA agents ever. He currently serves as the Director of Football Strategy for Vanguard Sports Group, where he assists all agents in client recruiting efforts and contract negotiation preparations. His support has directly led to over $250 million in new total contract money for Vanguard’s clients.

He also worked as a talent manager for legendary music producer Quincy Jones and previously interned at sport agencies Athletes First, Priority Sports, and Steinberg Sports.
