The other question then becomes 'what makes one the king of their jungle or domain'? Haha. All very valid points though I’m sure several similar stories can be made for some of Condon’s clients.

I noticed most of those players are the franchise players on their respective teams and have huge deals which will keep them on that team for years to come. Condon might have the most stars and highest total income. When it comes to naming the "king of the jungle", I believe no other agent is feared by GM's for his ability to get what he wants ( money, or a trade) than Drew Rosenhaus. Consider this, Larry Johnson had three dominant seasons where he was the workhorse back for the Chiefs. LJ has never had major injury concerns. He had to holdout all summer to get his rookie contract renegotiated up to par. Frank Gore of the 49ers had injury problems throughout college, and after only one season of leading the NFC in rushing, Drew got his rookie deal renegotiated without a holdout ( Defense is considerably worse in the NFC West - arizona, st louis, seattle than the AFC West- denver, san diego, oakland). Another example is how Drew got his boy Willis McGahee traded to a contender in Baltimore when he no longer wanted to play in Buffalo. I know Drew has a bad rep, but he does right by his players.

Let's not forget that Rosenhaus' client list isn't approaching 130 clients. He's about somewhere around 40 to 50 clients behind Condon. That's not to say that Rosenhaus isn't huge deals with some big time players but Condon certainly is as well with Peyton and Eli Manning, LT, Drew Brees, Marvin Harrison, Marc Bulger, Alex Smith and Tony Gonzalez (to name a few) on that long client list.
