Former NFL player Scott Turner has been confirmed by the Senate to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), paving the way for his confirmation. Turner, a Republican nominee, was chosen by President Trump to serve in this important role.

Turner, who played in the NFL as a wide receiver for the Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers, brings a unique perspective to the leadership position. Prior to his confirmation, Turner served as a state representative in Texas and worked on various housing and urban development issues.

Meanwhile, the NFL community mourns the loss of former player and coach Dick Jauron, who passed away at the age of 74. Jauron, who played in the NFL for several years before transitioning to coaching, leaves behind a legacy of dedication and passion for the game.

As Turner takes on this new role in HUD, he will undoubtedly draw on his experiences as an NFL player and state representative to address critical housing and urban development issues facing our nation. His confirmation marks a significant moment in his career and the future of HUD.
