NFL Team Presidents: List of all 32 Team Presidents after Washington Hires Jason Wright

NFL Team Presidents: Following the historical hiring of Jason Wright, we take a look at the list of all 32 NFL team presidents.

The Washington Football team announced Jason Wright has been hired as the new team president. Wright will become the first black person to hold the position in NFL history.

Wright, who is just 38 years old, is now also the youngest team president in the league. The former running back spent 6 years in the league before retiring in 2011. Following his retirement, Wright attended the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, and later became a partner at McKinsey & Company.

It is a long overdue milestone for the NFL. It’s also a breath of fresh air for Washington. Taking nothing away from Wright, the hire couldn’t have come at a better time for Washington who recently had to change their name due to concerns of racial insensitivity.
