The NFL has revived its accelerator program, with New England Patriots’ assistant head coach Terrell Williams among 34 participants. Williams, who faced health challenges including a prostate cancer diagnosis while serving as defensive coordinator in 2025, has since been declared cancer-free but was not retained in his DC role for 2026. The program aims to enhance leadership diversity within the league, focusing on advancing talent from underrepresented groups. Other notable participants include former Patriots Nick Caley and James Liipfert.
