ESPN looking into Mel Kiper’s relationship with agent Gary Wichard

ESPN looking into Mel Kiper’s relationship with Gary Wichard

This isn’t the first time there have been questions raised about Kiper’s relationships with Wichard. PFT wrote an article back in April about Kiper’s ranking of Jimmy Clausen as his top prospect at quarterback. Clausen was a Wichard client.
In an article for the Washington Post, Kiper admitted that he’s friends with many agents but denied any favoritism.
“I don’t shill for anybody,” Kiper said.
Kiper denied Luch’s version of the Howard story to SI, saying there wasn’t a prearranged call. He says he has similar conversations with players for many agents. Howard, on the other hand, said Kiper called, confirming Luch’s story.
