Donald Trump’s choice for White House chief of staff has an interesting connection to the NFL.

The Associated Press reported Nov. 7. That the President-elect plans to transition veteran Florida political strategist Susie Wiles from campaign co-chair to the high-profile position of the president’s closest adviser and counsel.

Wiles, the daughter of NFL player and legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall, is set to be the first woman to have the role.

“Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in a statement.

“It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”

Summerall called 16 Super Bowls, 26 Masters and 21 U.S. Open tournaments during is iconic career. His partnership with fellow football legend, John Madden, was a staple of Sundays across America for 22 seasons.

He was also a former football player at Arkansas, who later won an NFL Championship with the Detroit Lions in 1952.

Summerall was inducted into the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2010.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame honored him in 1994 with the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award “for longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football”
