Summary
Fernando Mendoza, the 1 pick in the 2026 draft, is proving his work ethic—even when sidelined for mandatory NFLPA Rookie Premiere duties. While the event offers rookies their first marketing opportunities and team uniform debut, Mendoza’s focus remains on mastering his craft. He’s locked in a QB battle with veteran Kirk Cousins, who may start under head coach Klint Kubiak’s preference for rookie development. But with the Raiders prioritizing wins, Mendoza could step in quickly if Cousins falters—making every moment count in his NFL ascent.
