SAN DIEGO — Back in the agent business after a lengthy personal detour, Leigh Steinberg's first new football client is, naturally, a quarterback.

Steinberg has signed SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert, the son of former NFL quarterback Gale Gilbert. Steinberg was Gale Gilbert's agent and also represents SMU coach June Jones.

This is the first time Steinberg, the real-life inspiration for “Jerry Maguire,” has represented the son of a former client.

A powerful agent since 1975, Steinberg battled alcoholism and bankruptcy, and let his agent certification lapse. After getting sober and clearing bankruptcy, Steinberg was recertified by the NFLPA last fall.
