Cousins & Mendoza: Vegas QB Duo Electric

0:00On April 8th, Kurt Cousins and the Las Vegas Raiders expected number one draft pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza are already breaking down film. Together, this happened during Mendoza's pre-draft visit to Vegas this week. Cousins spilled the details on Good Morning Football, stressing how the quarterback room thrives on constant chatter and mutual support. Cousins gave Mendoza big props, calling him a strong addition with a bright future. He even picked the young quarterback's brain on back shoulder throws. Cousins is ready to mentor, sharing his routines and habits to help Mendoza settle in fast. Fans and analysts are buzzing about this early chemistry, especially with Cousins' hungry for unfinished business like division wins and a Lombardi trophy. He's all in on competing for the starting gig, but only if he's the top choice, echoing his chat with new head coach Clint Kubiak. That ties into Cousins' pass with Kubiak from their Minnesota Vikings days, where the offense clicked hard in 2021.
