“Keep Killing the Game”: Deion Sanders Ex- Fiancé Tracey Edmonds Pays Fitting Tribute to One of NFL’s Most Powerful Agents

Eugene Parker was a man with a fine eye for talent. It was honing the spark he saw during his first lunch in Atlanta with a boy he barely knew and putting his faith in that little boy who had been following him around for 3 years. Thanks to that leap of faith of the then-best NFL agent in that little boy named Tory Dandy, the pro league got the best agent in the NFL today. Tony Dandy’s journey to the top by the Athletic’s Alec Lewis perfectly encapsulates exactly what carved the South Carolina native out to be a force to be reckoned with.

Right from his first internship stint at Synergy Sports, a small agency in South Carolina, right to signing a three-year, $96 million with $84 million guaranteed, the largest ever guaranteed to a WR in the NFL, Dandy became what anyone would call the perfect heir to Eugene Parker’s legacy. The ex-fiancee of Deion Sanders, one of the most celebrated clients of Parker, took out special time to extend her heartfelt congratulations to Dandy. “Congrats on the awesome article, my friend! Keep killing the game, Tory!” Edmonds wrote on her Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of Alec Lewis’s article on Dandy.

“This is your Deion Sanders right here. This is going to change your career,” Eugene Parker had confidently said when Dandy bagged his first major client, Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins, in 2014. Years later, Tory Dandy was proud to confirm that Parker was right. From there on, the trajectory was an upward one for Dandy. Deebo Samuel, CeeDee Lamb, AJ Brown, and Patrick Ward are just some highlights of Dandy’s career. In actuality, the legacy he has created learning from every move of his mentor, Eugene Parker, has just started to leave his mark.

Tory Dandy’s first-round domination

Being the co-head of the CAA Sports football division, Dandy has over $1 billion in active contracts under his belt. The year 2023 was just the cherry on top of their records. Overtaking the four-year reign of their arch-rival Athletes First LLC, CAA Sports set the bar at an all-time high level in the NFL 2024 draft in Detroit. Dandy and Co. had 12 first-round picks. Their biggest achievement thus far was having the touted No.1 pick Caleb Williams in their bag. Dandy also boasted Drake Maye getting drafted as overall 3, Marvin Harrison Jr. at No.4, and Joe Alt at No.5.

Unlocking 4 of the 5 top-4 picks is a thing to take great pride in for Dandy and Co. Thanks to all the patience he had while learning from the best, Dandy has rightfully taken his throne as the top agent in the NFL with his performance in the 2025 NFL draft. Parker had told Dandy to be a superstar. If Parker would be breathing today to witness Dandy’s growth, he would best believe he had become one.
