Abu Toppin and Jack Huntington of RSM had one draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft – #133 overall pick Jerron McMillian, a strong safety from Maine who was selected by the Green Bay Packers.  The duo also formerly represented New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, who left RSM earlier this year for Roanoke, Virginia-based football agent, Malik Shareef.

Toppin and Huntington are making a career out of representing northeastern football players.  Evans, McMillan and Cruz (from UMass) are all within their recruiting zone.  Beltre, from Towson in Baltimore, Maryland, can sneak into that geographical region, as well.

NFLDraftScout.com currently ranks Evans as the 28th best linebacker in his class and the 611st best available player overall.
