The Washington Football Team hired Jason Wright as its new team president, making the 38-year-old executive the first Black person to hold the position in NFL history.
Wright's background includes a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago and a psychology degree from Northwestern. His previous job was as a partner at a global strategy and management consulting firm, McKinsey & Company.
Wright was a former running back for the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals. Throughout his seven-year tenure, Wright tallied 1,214 rushing and receiving yards combined to go with five touchdowns. "I’m a football player first," Wright said in the GMA interview. “Then became a businessman and cut my teeth — helping some of the most complex and most important organizations around the world transform over the last few years. So for me, it’s personal: an opportunity to help bring together my two worlds in a really unique way in a really unique time. And the fact that I happen to be Black, and the most qualified person for this, is a boost.
