Sandra Douglass Morgan became the first black female president in NFL history.
She was appointed by the Las Vegas Raiders to this role on Thursday 7 July 2022.
Sandra is an experienced lawyer, so it was not surprising that she chose to change her career path. However, she has many connections to NFL – one being her husband…
Who is Sandra Douglass Morgan’s husband?
Sandra Douglass Morgan is married Don Morgan, a former NFL star.
Don was a defensive back for the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings during his time in the NFL. He discovered football while studying at University of Nevada in Reno.
Sandra and Don’s date of marriage is unknown, and it seems like they try to keep their relationship as private as possible. Sandra’s Instagram account is on private, and with only 600 followers it’s unlikely that the star accepts requests from those outside her circle.
HITC does know, however, that the couple have two children together: a daughter called Dana and a boy named Dylan.

Sandra Douglass Morgan’s speech on joining the Raiders
Sandra spoke at a news conference to discuss her thoughts about becoming the Las Vegas Raiders’ new president. She shared the following:
“I have been the first in other positions that I’ve held, whether it be city attorney or the gaming control board, I definitely never want to be the last, and I want to get to a point obviously where there is no more firsts, but as I mention in my comments, the impact that this has is not lost on me.”
She added:
“As a local who grew up here this is a dream come true, this wouldn’t have been possible for someone in Las Vegas to have an opportunity to lead a professional sports organisation more than three years ago. So the opportunity that Mark has granted and just being a part of the Raiders is obviously an incredible privilege, but it’s just as important that he understands the value that I can bring as well.”
