Viral L. Keshwala is a practicing attorney, NFL agent, movie producer, and former professional football player. He graduated with B.A. in Political Science from Colgate University, where he was a member of the Colgate Football team. A two-year starter, Keshwala helped win the Patriot League title in 1999 and made two NCAA playoff appearances in 1998 and 1999. Following his successful collegiate career, Keshwala attended the NFL combine at Miami University where his strong performance led to opportunities to play professional football overseas, in Canada, and in the United States. He chose to play in the Arena Football League (AFL), where he played alongside players like Kurt Warner, a future NFL Hall of Famer. Keshwala played six years in the AFL, starting on both offense and defense. During his second year in the league, Keshwala became a full-time law student while still playing professional football, an achievement the law school highlighted in its weekly paper in a profile entitled “Laying Down the Law.” After graduating law school and passing the bar, Keshwala practiced law at multiple law firms. But after retiring from professional football in 2008, his entrepreneurial spirit and desire to build his own practice led him to open his own law firm, KESHWALA LAW LLC. In 2015, he represented a Connecticut high school head football coach accused of allowing ineligible players on his team in exchange for bribes in a case that garnered national attention. Keshwala defended his client zealously, both in the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference investigation and in the media, and the coach was able to keep his teaching job and his pension. Keshwala’s practice consists of civil business litigation, immigration, criminal, divorce, real estate, and collection law. He has extensive experience in district, superior, and appellate courts and is licensed to practice law in Massachusetts and Connecticut. In addition to being a practicing attorney, Keshwala is a sports agent and certified contract advisor for the NFLPA. He founded VLK-PROREP in 2014 and has negotiated millions of dollars in contracts for his clients. He has represented a Super Bowl Champion for the Los Angeles Rams in 2022 and a rookie who was nominated for the Pro Bowl last year. His clients include high school, college, and professional athletes. With the introduction of NIL in NCAA sports, VLK-PROREP has expanded to include guiding high school and college players through that process. As an NFL agent, he helps athletes with draft prep and the NFL draft process, negotiating contracts, and establishing relationships with the General Managers and front offices of NFL teams. He also assists his clients in securing marketing deals and endorsements.
