“I am honored by the trust that the Board has shown in me and I will work hard to be a voice and advocate for all players,” said Reeves-Maybin, via a press release from the NFLPA. ”It will be my mission to continue to serve and unify our membership and I look forward to inspiring more players to use their voice in advocating for the union and our game.”
Reeves-Maybin has been a member of the NFLPA Executive Committee for the past two seasons and will take over for JC Tretter, who retired from the position after a four-year stint.
“Congratulations to Jalen on his election,” Tretter said in a statement. “I am confident that he will continue the awesome legacy of player leadership to fulfill the union’s mission of serving players past, present and future.”
Reeves-Maybin will work hand-in-hand with several other NFL players in key roles with the NFLPA, as well as NFLPA Executive Director Lloyd Howell, who also released a statement on Reeves-Maybin’s nomination.
“I want to congratulate Jalen on his election as the NFLPA’s new president,” Howell said. “Jalen will bring tremendous leadership to our union, a commitment to serving our players and our player-driven agenda. I look forward to working closely with him in the coming years. I also want to take the opportunity to thank JC Tretter for his dedication and all his accomplishments as president the last four years.”
