The Athletic has released its “40 Under 40″ list for the NFL, a listing of 40 important people to the future of the league who are all under 40 years old. People mentioned are considered rising stars in the NFL pantheon.

Pleasant earned his way into the exclusive club for his proven history of player development and personnel management he’s shown in his coaching stops in Los Angeles and now Detroit, where he’s entering his second season.
