Fernando Mendoza is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the Las Vegas Raiders may have found their franchise quarterback. The Indiana Hoosiers National Champion isn’t a “magician” playmaker like Mahomes or Caleb Williams. He’s a processor. Elite decision-making. Blitz recognition. 41 TDs to 6 INTs. NFL-ready pocket presence at 6’5.
With Tom Brady influencing the Raiders’ direction and Klint Kubiak installing a QB-friendly system, Mendoza fits perfectly in Las Vegas. This isn’t a gamble. It’s calculated.

4:04 he didn’t have 35 college starts before he entered transfer portal.. but he will be great either way
Collective? Hmm
The more I read about him the more I like him… just sign him already.. RN4L
Raiders is back baby
You can do a lot of things with a very experienced team surrounding you
WHO TF ASKED THAT CLOWN?
As a raider fan, I am so excited to get the autistic Tom Brady. Let’s go baby.
Cam Newton seems like he's trying to maximize the amount of time he's on camera like a kid in school tries to hit a 5,000 word minimum by defining the word the
didn't he say he was gonna stay in college
Fernando is at home, when defenses throw thst linebacker blitz. Let my man take the Raiders to the promise land, which he will.
Raiders reloaded here the COMING of CHAMPION 15 🏈🏉🙀MENDOZA watch out NFL thanks to Brady 🏈🙌🏽😎😄👍🏾
Calm, cool, collective 😂
tom is palpetine, so that makes fernando…… #darthnando
It's starting to look very interesting. Tom is building a power offense backed up by an exotic defense. The Patriot Way.
Nando doesn't have to be special immediately. The offense is built on running a zone scheme and a 55/45 run rate. Omar Young and Kubiak are known for this. All he has to do is hand the ball off until the defense is forced to sell out. It worked for Brady for years.
Mendoza, Bowers, Jeanty. 3 very young anchors for this team. A rebuilt oline, Maxx still here, great LB signings.
It's hard not to believe in this team. But remember, this is the Raiders.
How many first rounders have been great leaders and overall studs at the college level but they never manage to transfer those talents to the elite level? I'll wait.
That's my quaterhack! 🥹
cam i such a clown. nobody should be taking advice from that clown.
Raiders killed free agency. Sign Cousins cheap start the first 4-6 weeks then let the kid loose.
Mendoza, Jeanty, Nailors, Tucker, Bowers, with a improve line…..scary
Defense should give them a chance too….Raiders going for 8 to 10 win season, gonna battle in their division….if they dont mess up the draft after Mendoza, gotta built support on offense, wr , rb, lineman, even another qb as backup
Here’s the truth. He will play for a team that finishes 4th in the division.
Tom Brady never won heizman
Raiders have won with prototypical qbs.
I would take the Raiders and Fernando Mendoza !!!!!
