Fernando Mendoza has "Fantastic Meeting" With Raiders at Combine
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza said that he had a "fantastic meeting" with the Las Vegas Raiders at the NFL scouting combine on Friday, according to Levi Edwards of Raiders.com. Mendoza also called head coach Klint Kubiak and his coaching staff "football savvy." Barring something totally out of the blue, the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner will go first overall to the Raiders in April in the 2026 NFL draft after he led the Hoosiers to an undefeated season and the national championship. Mendoza can do it all on the football field and should start on Day 1 in his rookie season in the NFL. He completed over 70% of his 379 pass attempts last year for a career-high 3,535 passing yards, an NCAA-high 41 touchdown passes, and only six interceptions in 16 games last year. Mendoza will be the consensus No. 1 overall pick in rookie-only drafts this fall, and he could be on the radar in two-QB superflex fantasy leagues in 2026 as well.
