A Unique KIND
of Representation

Two men are having a conversation on a football field, with bleachers and a scoreboard behind them. One man, holding a football, is wearing a white polo shirt and brown shorts, and the other man is wearing a white football jersey with the number 14.

Personalized Representation.

Michael Portner,
NFL Agent & Founder

A young man with short brown hair, dressed in white pants, a white shirt, and a blue plaid blazer, is stepping out of a black van while carrying a black backpack with a red water bottle. He is smiling and wearing brown shoes, with a wristwatch visible. There is another person in casual clothing loading luggage into the van.

I’m a man of faith and family, and I believe the relationship between an NFL agent, his clients, and their families, should be personal. This business isn’t just about contracts; it’s about trust, commitment, and showing up like it matters.

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta with a clear vision: to become an NFL agent. I didn’t just chase the dream. I built a plan, followed a strategy, and did the work to make it real. Today, as the founder of Portner Sports Co., I live that dream every day and help others do the same.

Now in my fourth year as an NFL agent, I’ve built a reputation for doing things uniquely. I’ve negotiated record-breaking contracts while keeping my client roster intentionally small, so each athlete gets my full attention and support. 

Portner Sports Co. is built for depth, not scale. With the reach of a major agency and the loyalty of family, I represent a select group of athletes with strategy, trust, and long-term vision.

Securing the largest signing bonus ever for an offensive lineman wasn’t just about setting a new benchmark, it was the result of a strategy grounded in calculated timing, deep trust, and a clear long-term vision.
