Former Tennessee Vols linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin is now one of the most important players in the NFL.
That's because the former Vol was elected as the new president of the NFLPA (players union) on Friday.
Reeves-Maybin, who is currently a linebacker/special teams ace for the Detroit Lions, previously served on the NFLPA's executive committee. He replaces JC Tretter as the NFLPA president.
Reeves-Maybin, who played at Tennessee from 2013 to 2016, was a fourth round selection by the Lions in the 2017 NFL Draft.
The former Tennessee linebacker has carved out a key role with the Lions as a special teams ace and reserve linebacker. He signed a two-year extension with Detroit worth $7.5 million in late February.
