Former NFL player Scott Turner nominated for secretary of housing and urban development by President-elect Donald Trump.
Why it matters: Turner's nomination highlights Trump's focus on revitalizing distressed communities and his effort to diversify his administration.
What's new: Scott Turner, who previously ran the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, has been nominated for the position of secretary of housing and urban development.
Yes, but: Some critics question Turner's qualifications for the role, given his background as an NFL player and limited experience in housing and urban development policy.
The bottom line: Turner's nomination represents an opportunity for him to continue his work in transforming distressed communities on a larger scale.
