NFLPA Leadership

The Board elects the NFLPA executive officers from among its ranks. The executive officers include the President and ten (10) Vice Presidents. The Executive Director is the principal administrative officer. The officers and the Executive Director are members of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee manages and transacts the business and affairs of the NFLPA between meetings of the Board of Player Representatives. Executive officers are elected for a two-year term in even-numbered years at the annual meeting of the Board of Player Representatives. They must have been members in good standing for one-year to be eligible to serve.

Named to six Pro Bowls, the Defensive Tackle from Ohio State was selected in the 2011 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and has spent his entire NFL career in Steel City.

Heyward has been active in his union, serving as the Steelers team council in 2014, a first alternate in 2016 and a player rep in 2020 and 2022. The respect that he has built among his peers throughout the league was reflected in 2024, when the six-time Pro Bowler was voted on to the NFLPA Executive Committee.

A force on the field, Heyward is also known for the work he does in his team city and hometown of Pittsburgh. In 2015, the three-time NFLPA Community MVP started the Heyward House Foundation with a mission of creating initiatives that positively impact kids in need.

Ted Karras | Vice President

The two-time Super Bowl champion was drafted out of Illinois in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots.

Case Keenum | Vice President 

After setting several NCAA records while at the University of Houston, Keenum signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2012. Since then, the veteran quarterback has been a voice within numerous locker rooms during his 12-year career, including the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota (where he threw the pass behind the Minneapolis Miracle), Denver, Washington, Cleveland, Buffalo, Houston and now Chicago.

In 2023, Keenum was voted as the Texans' second alternate rep, paving the way for his election to the NFLPA Executive Committee at the 2024 Board of Player Reps meeting.

Jonathan Greenard | Vice President

During the 2020 draft, the Florida graduate was selected by the Houston Texans in the third round. After spending four seasons with the Texans, Greenard signed with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 and served as a captain during the 2025 season.  

The outside linebacker previously served as the Vikings alternative player representative for the Vikings prior to his election to the NFLPA Executive Committee at the 2026 Board of Player Reps meeting.

During the offseason, Greenard is heavily involved with his community through his nonprofit, the Greenard Foundation. This initiative helps level the playing field for kids who might otherwise be left out by providing access to coaching, mentorship, and skill development. It empowers young athletes to build confidence, discipline, and leadership both on and off the field.
 

Brandon McManus | Vice President

After signing with Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent out of Temple, McManus has been a kicker for the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars since 2014. His play helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.

In 2022, McManus was elected to the Executive Committee and re-elected in 2024. He now kicks for the Green Bay Packers where he serves as a dependable leader in their locker room.

The veteran kicker has made his mark in the Denver community through the Project McManus foundation, which he launched in 2019. He has twice been named a NFLPA Community MVP in 2020 and 2021 for helping restaurants and single-parent households during the pandemic and hosting a holiday giving initiative, respectively
 

Thomas Morstead | Vice President

The punter and kickoff specialist from SMU was selected in 2009 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints and went on to win a Super Bowl in his first pro season. Morstead was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2012 and previously served as the team’s elected player union representative. In 2025, Morstead signed with the San Francisco 49ers. 

In 2018, he was voted onto the NFLPA Executive Committee and re-elected in 2020, 2022 and 2024 to once again serve as a steadfast leader for the full player membership.

Off the field, Morstead formed his charity – What You Give Will Grow, a Thomas Morstead Foundation – to improve the lives of those in need through the support of local causes and organizations, focusing primarily on pediatric cancer. After the 2018 NFC Divisional game versus the Minnesota Vikings, when Morstead returned to the field in the final seconds following what appeared to be a walk-off Saints loss, Vikings fans donated more the $140,000 to his foundation. Morstead, in turn, decided to donate all the contributions to the Children's Hospital in Minnesota.
