Mendoza’s Cover Signals Raiders’ Future | Las Vegas Raiders News
Description
Fernando Mendoza, the Raiders’ No. 1 draft pick, is already a star before he even takes the field—Topps has slapped him on the cover of their flagship card set, signaling massive commercial confidence. His rookie card sold over 126K copies in two days, proving his appeal extends far beyond Oakland fans. A collector himself, Mendoza joins an elite group as the fifth Heisman winner drafted by the Raiders. With veteran Kirk Cousins now on board, the QB room is set up for both mentorship and competition—Cousins sees himself as a rival, not just a coach. While Cousins may start Week One, Mendoza is the franchise’s future, being marketed as the next big thing even before his first NFL snap.
