After the death of former Houston Texans owner Bob McNair, the National Football League announced his replacement on the league’s Financial Committee on Wednesday with the news that Clark Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, would serve as its new chairman, per the Associated Press.
Hunt’s appointment as the committee’s head places him in a position of leadership among his peers on the team, a group that includes Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Joel Glazer, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
