The NFL's revamped accelerator program features several notable head coaching and general manager candidates -- and even a head coach from 2025.
The program, created in 2022 with the intention of increasing diversity in leadership roles but paused in 2025, returns at the NFL owners meetings Monday and Tuesday in Orlando, Florida.
Among the notable names in the 34-person pool, obtained by ESPN, is Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, the Miami Dolphins coach from 2022 to 2025.
