AP survey: About 36% of NFL players are discouraged or disappointed by lack of Black coaches.

11 teams have never employed a full-time head coach who is Black.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the league will continue diversity efforts.

NFL players: "You don't want to have the glass ceiling".

The NFL 's Rooney Rule was created in 2003 , named for Steelers owner Dan Rooney , to increase diversity among coaches.

" The Rooney Rule's a great rule," wide receiver Terry McLaurin says.

Some, like Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton , point to networking and nepotism.

Others find connections to larger issues, like American society.
