Former NFL player Jack Brewer, 46, has devoted his post-football career to issues such as education, business, and political advocacy. In 2021, the ally of President Trump launched the Serving Institute to return the “fear of God” and “fear of authority” to U.S. classrooms.

In 2020, Brewer was appointed to the White House Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys. He advocates for issues such as criminal justice reform, opportunity zones, and school choice. Brewer now serves as chair of the Center for Opportunity Now at the America First Policy Institute.
