Description
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell assembled an electrifying All-Backup NFL team, spotlighting hidden gems like rookie QB Fernando Mendoza — expected to sit behind Kirk Cousins but poised to take over for the Raiders. Mendoza’s college brilliance and the team’s bold rebuild, featuring stars like Tyler Linderbaum, make him a sleeper starter in the making. Barnwell also spotlighted edge rusher Malcolm Koonce, a backup poised to shine behind Maxx Crosby and Kwity Paye. With training camp looming, fans are buzzing — will Mendoza leapfrog the veteran? The Raiders’ depth and hype suggest this backup squad might be more dangerous than you think.
