Lloyd Howell Jr. has resigned as executive director of the NFL Players Association, citing recent distractions caused by his leadership. Howell accepted the role two years prior, motivated by a strong belief in the union's mission to advocate for player welfare. His decision to step down comes after scrutiny over a part-time consulting job with the Carlyle Group and previous legal issues. Howell aims for the NFLPA to refocus on its essential work supporting players ahead of the upcoming season.
"Two years ago, I accepted the role of Executive Director of the NFLPA because I believe deeply in the mission of this union and the power of collective action to drive positive change for the players of America's most popular sport. My priority has been to lead that fight by serving this union with focus and dedication."
"It's clear that my leadership has become a distraction to the important work the NFLPA advances every day. For this reason, I have informed the NFLPA Executive Committee that I am stepping down as Executive Director of the NFLPA and Chairman of the Board of NFL Players effective immediately."
