If you’re not a fan of bringing politics into sports, look away, as now sports are making their way into politics. President-elect Donald Trump has announced that former Denver Bronco Scott Turner will serve as the Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Turner turned to social media to thank Trump for the opportunity to hold such a large position in his cabinet.

The position was originally created in 1965 and aims “to increase homeownership, support community development, and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination.”

This isn’t Turner’s first high position in politics. In 2013, he was sworn in as a member of the House of Representatives, and in 2019, he was appointed to the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council.

 


Scott Turner Had A Long NFL Career

Turner was originally a seventh-round pick by the Washington Redskins in the 1995 draft.

He would play with them for three years, recording three interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and even bringing one back for a touchdown.

After that, Turner spent four years with the San Diego Chargers before going to the Denver Broncos for one year and eventually leaving the league altogether.

After he retired from the NFL, he started his political career, arguably even better than his time in the league.
