The NFL Players Association has elected David White as its interim executive director, turning to a veteran labor leader with extensive experience in Hollywood to restore stability after a turbulent period. White, who previously served as the national executive director of SAG-AFTRA from 2009 to 2021, was voted in by player representatives from all 32 NFL teams on Sunday night.
According to Deadline, White replaces Lloyd Howell, whose tenure as executive director ended last month amid multiple controversies. Howell, who came from a finance background, led the union for two years before being forced to step down. His departure marks the end of what players described as a challenging period for the organization.
