Beginning today, three Raider coaches are taking part in the inaugural Ozzie Newsome General Forum and the fourth annual Quarterback Coaching Summit.
In partnership with the Black College Football Hall of Fame and the NFL, the pair are hosting the event for front office personnel and coaches from both the NFL and NCAA.
The virtual program will allow participants to experience professional development and networking opportunities between the NFL and NCAA.
Three Raider coaches were selected to represent the Raiders:
- Assistant Director of Player Personnel DuJuan Daniels
