Michigan Wolverines defensive lineman Rashan Gary is starting his own agency prior to the NFL draft.

According to Darren Heitner, the agency will be called Rashan Gary Sports, and NFL agent Ian Clarke will join the company.

Look, I’m not against anybody getting their money, but this seems like an absurdly stupid decision on Gary’s part. (RELATED: Here Are The Best Moments From Week 15 Of The NFL Season)

Perhaps he should focus on actually solidifying his position in the NFL after leaving Michigan before he tries to open up his own agency. Plenty of college stars flame out of the league before they even know what hit them.

He’s going to try to become a star in football and in the agency game at the same time. It seems like the definition of being over-extended.

It has begun.. I’d like to say THANKS to everyone across the country and my home state of #NewJersey that has been a part of this amazing journey. Thanks to all the coaches, teachers, athletes for making me feel welcome were ever I may have been. I still carry those experiences with me to this day. #GoBlue to those in the state of #Michigan and the city of #AnnArbor. University of Michigan was a decision that I worked hard to have the opportunity to make and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. As I enter the next chapter in my life and athletic career, I had another important decision to make. I did so understanding my responsibilities, commitment and direction on who and where I want to be when this game no longer see’s me as I see it. Last but not least. I like to say thanks to my Rashan Gary Sports (RGS) team. I am fully focused on this athletic transition, building the best version of myself. They allow me to focus on my goal everytime I step on the field. That’s to be #1 and the best at what I am asked to do. Thanks to Ian Clarke, esq., who will be lead #RGS’ sports agent. DSA Media Group who will lead as marketing agency and Christian Dennie our General Counsel. Thanks again to everyone who’s supported and influenced my journey, Lets Go! #RGS #RahGary #RashanAGarySports

Again, I wouldn’t ever cheer against anybody trying to get ahead. That’s what America is all about, but maybe he should take it one step at a time.

Finally, I’m not sure this is a move NFL general managers are going to love. They hate dealing with agents as it is. Are they really going to like having a player on the roster who runs his own agency? I doubt it.

Best of luck to Gary, but I don’t see this ending well at all.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
