Mendoza’s Grind for the Starting Spot
Description
Fernando Mendoza, the Raiders’ top draft pick, is quietly proving he’s ready to lead — even if he’s not starting yet. Grinding through offseason workouts with veterans like Kirk Cousins and Aidan O’Connell, he treats every rep like it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Coach Kubiak prefers veteran starters, but Mendoza’s relentless work ethic and steady progress since OTAs are turning heads. He’s mastering the NFL’s finer points, reading the field with confidence, and soaking up coaching wisdom. The Raiders are betting big on his growth — and Mendoza’s putting in the reps to earn that starting role.
