Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin has been re-elected as president of the National Football League Players Association, beginning a second two-year term leading the union after a vote by the board of player representatives.

Reeves-Maybin, a nine-year NFL veteran who most recently played for the Chicago Bears, was first elected to the role in 2024 and will continue to represent players in negotiations and policy discussions with the NFL.

“I’m honoured that the Board has trusted me to continue serving as president,” Reeves-Maybin said in a statement. “There’s important work ahead and I’m looking forward to continue advocating on behalf of our membership to protect our rights and advance our interests.”

Alongside Reeves-Maybin’s re-election, the union also confirmed changes to its Executive Committee, with four new members joining the leadership group. Tanoh Kpassagnon will serve as treasurer, while Jonathan Greenard, Harrison Phillips and Zaire Franklin were also elected to the committee, according to Sports Business Journal. They join returning committee members Oren Burks, Cameron Heyward, Ted Karras, Case Keenum, Brandon McManus and Thomas Morstead, who were all re-elected to continue in their roles.

The election comes at a significant moment for the NFLPA as the union prepares to address several major issues facing players in the coming years, including the league’s evolving media landscape and the long-term implications of the current collective bargaining agreement, which runs through 2030.

Reeves-Maybin’s second term begins immediately as the union continues to shape its leadership structure and strategic direction during what could be a pivotal period for professional football.
