Raiders’ Fernando Mendoza Joins Elite NFL Draft Company: Burrow, Newton, and Winston
Las Vegas Raiders’ first-round draft pick, Fernando Mendoza, has joined an exclusive club of quarterbacks. He is one of only four players since 1967 to win the Heisman Trophy, a national title, and be selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, alongside Joe Burrow, Jameis Winston, and Cam Newton.
Mendoza is lauded for his accuracy and command under pressure, and he’s eager to learn from veteran Kirk Cousins while competing for a starting position.
