Ben Dogra

Ben Dogra was an American sports agent who, until July 2006,[1] headed the Football Division of SFX Football, with associate Mark Heligman. Dogra graduated from George Mason University with a B.S. in Economics, then earned his law degree from St. Louis University School of Law.[2][3] He previously worked with Jim Steiner in St. Louis, at SMG (now SFX Sports Group). Dogra now co-heads CAA Football with Tom Condon.[4][5]

Dogra got his start in 1993 as an intern at SMG. Dogra was named the 6th Most Powerful Sports Agent in 2008 by Sports Business Journal.[6] He has also represented more first round draft choices than any other NFL agent since 2004.[7]
