Fernando Mendoza made ways with his pre-draft visit to the Raiders in Las Vegas on Tuesday. The high-smotrophy winner and national champion quarterback picked the silver in black for his one and only stop before the NFL draft. Everyone expects them to snag him at number one over all this month. He got the VIP treatment right away, linking up with Tom Brady and their freshly signed Kirk Cousins.
