VP
USA TODAY
Clay Walker is the Vice President of Affiliate Relations for USA TODAY Sports. Previously, he served as the Executive Vice President and GM of Big Lead Sports/Fantasy Sports Ventures, a fantasy sports marketing and media company that was sold to USA TODAY in 2012. Before joining BLS/FSV, Clay was the Chairman of the Fantasy Sports Association and the Senior Vice President of the NFL Players Association's licensing and marketing business. He conceived, launched and developed the first-ever fantasy licensing program in the U.S. and produced the first-ever fantasy sports television show in the mid-1990s. An avid fantasy football player, he was once kicked out of his original fantasy football league because the other owners thought he enjoyed an unfair advantage from working for the NFL Players Association.
