Posted Aug 10, 2010
Marvin Austin may have more ties to [agent Gary] Wichard than just John Blake. Austin worked out in 2009 with Wichard client and former Tar Heel Kentwan Balmer at Proactive Sports Performance, a California training facility near Wichard's agency. Yahoo! reported the facility's website claims a dozen Wichard clients work out at Proactive. Wichard said he spoke with Austin once and did nothing improper. (Sporting News)
