Jared Jeffries played in the NBA for 11 seasons. After retiring in 2013, he accepted a position with the Denver Nuggets front office as a pro personnel scout. He was promoted to director of pro personnel and held that position until Rick Fox came with an offer to become president of his esports organization: Echo Fox.
“I saw the opportunity to be part of something,” Jeffries said. “Rick did a great job of selling their vision. Everything they told me has been coming true. I am excited to be a part of this emerging market.”
Echo Fox was one of the first major crossovers from the world of professional sports to esports.
