NFL Draft Star Updates LinkedIn, Fans Cheer

0:00On April 24, Fernando Mendoza just got picked first overall by the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL draft and right during his post-pick interview, he pulls out his phone to update his LinkedIn profile. He posted that it's official, he's grateful for the shot and ready to get to work, though the Raiders aren't listed in his experience section. Yet, probably too soon for that. Fans and players jumped in quick with replies, including former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, near the top, and others hyping his professional side over the football hype. Mendoza kept the momentum going with a short video online, giving a shout out to Raider Nation and promising to put in the effort. That same drive he showed updating his profile could translate big time on the field, putting the Raiders in solid position moving forward.
