Mendoza’s Heisman Dreams in Raiders’ Future | Las Vegas Raiders News
Description
Fernando Mendoza just became the No. 1 overall pick by the Raiders after an electric college career—leading Indiana to a perfect season, a national title, and the Heisman Trophy. His rise mirrors Joe Burrow’s, who also won a Heisman and national championship before NFL stardom (and injuries). Burrow’s impressed by Mendoza’s leadership and playmaking, crediting NIL money for Indiana’s success. But don’t expect Mendoza to start right away: the Raiders brought in veteran Kirk Cousins as the preseason starter. Mendoza’s got massive hype—and a long wait to prove he can handle the NFL—but the Raiders made a bold statement with the top pick.
