Fernando Mendoza an Ideal Fit for Klint Kubiak's Offense?
ESPN's Field Yates believes that Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is the "ideal partner" to pair with new head coach and offensive play-caller Klint Kubiak. Mendoza did it all in 2025 while leading the Hoosiers to their first undefeated season and a national championship, including showing elite accuracy and overall arm talent while improving his pocket awareness. The young signal-caller also has a strong frame, in-pocket mobility, and enough creativity to handle duress out of structure. Kubiak is fresh off winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks and QB Sam Darnold, a former third overall pick. Kubiak seems like the perfect person to oversee the development of Mendoza, who should have a pretty high floor at the next level.
