Browns' JC Tretter Elected NFLPA President over Michael Thomas, Sam Acho

Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter was elected as the new president of the NFL Players Association on Tuesday.

Tretter beat out fellow finalists Sam Acho (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Michael Thomas (New York Giants) and Russell Okung (Los Angeles Chargers), who'd dropped out of the race and endorsed Thomas after filing a complaint Monday with the National Labor Relations Board.

The 29-year-old New York native provided union members with a 13-point breakdown of the collective bargaining agreement proposal, which is in the final stage of voting through Saturday.

It didn't include a recommendation of whether to vote for or against the new CBA, so his personal stance is unknown.

Tretter is a seven-year NFL veteran. He spent his first four seasons with the Green Bay Packers and the last three as a member of the Browns.

The 2013 fourth-round pick played college football in the Ivy League at Cornell.

He graduated from the university's School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

Tretter could be thrust into a high-pressure situation in his new role if players reject the CBA proposal, which would force them back to the bargaining table with NFL owners.

The current CBA runs through the 2020 NFL season.
