8. JoJo Wooden, Director of Player Personnel, LA Chargers

This is not quite the same as Kwesi Adofo-Mensah because Adofo-Mensah has already been requested to interview, but do not be surprised if Wooden gets a call in the next 24 hours. Wooden is another name tied to Bill Polian through one of his proteges.

Tom Telesco came up under Bill Polian but was hired by the Chargers in 2013. One of the first names he brought in was Wooden, who has been beside Telesco since 2013. Surely Telesco would give his mentor Polian the full scoop on whether Wooden is or is not worth the interview.

Either way, you never view the Chargers as a team that is void of talent. The eye that Wooden has is clearly respected, and he should be recognized as a potential candidate.
