## Resource

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to draft quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick, but head coach Klint Kubiak wants to ease him into the role. Mendoza, compared to veteran Kirk Cousins for his calm demeanor and game style, faces an unusual hurdle: Cousins himself. But rather than rivalry, the connection is seen as beneficial—Cousins could serve as a mentor, helping Mendoza navigate the NFL’s toughest challenges without the pressure of direct competition.
