“Working with RSR Sports Management, and Rob Roche has been a great experience. I have had bad experiences with agents in the past, but Rob is one of the best in the business. He has been there for everything, even just for a chat. I would recommend Rob and RSR to anyone that is in need of an agent to take them to the next level.”
Tanner Purdum — New York Jets |
“Signing with Rob was the best decision I’ve made in my professional career. Before I signed with Rob, I wasn’t getting any looks from NFL teams. After I chose Rob as my agent, I began working out for teams every week. Now I find myself in my second year with the Bucs, and I couldn’t have done it without Rob. He knows everyone around the NFL. Not only an agent, he cares about you as a person and wants you to succeed in everyway possible. It has been a pleasure working with him and will be for years to come.”
Connor Barth — Denver Broncos |
"Rob has done a great job for me in my first two seasons in the NFL. He is always available and on point whenever I need his assistance and I can tell he genuinely cares about my success, both on and off the field."
