Raiders take Mendoza No. 1
The Las Vegas Raiders have selected Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Mendoza, a Heisman Trophy winner and national champion, is set to become the new face of the franchise in a draft that featured several early surprises.
The rookie quarterback expressed his desire to represent the Raiders' Hispanic fan base and credits his mother's fight with multiple sclerosis as his primary motivation.
