Summary
Welcome back to the Raiders Squad Show with Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand! In today's episode, we break down Fernando Mendoza winning Best Men's College Athlete at the ESPYS and discuss what his incredible college career could mean for the Raiders' future. Is all the hype surrounding the No. 1 overall pick a good thing, or could expectations become too much? We also discuss why Mendoza may be one of the most scrutinized rookie quarterbacks in recent memory, how learning behind veteran Kirk Cousins can benefit his development, and why the Raiders' patient approach could set him up for long-term success. We also dive into the Raiders' 2026 Training Camp schedule, including the five open practices available to fans. Why are there fewer public practices than last year? What does it say about Klint Kubiak and his coaching staff, and what position battles and storylines are we watching most closely as camp gets underway? Plus, we spotlight three key Raiders to watch entering camp: Maxx Crosby, rookie defensive tackle JJ Pegues, and cornerback Greedy Vance. We discuss what each player needs to accomplish this summer and why they could play major roles during the 2026 season. As always, we wrap up the show by answering your Raiders questions and reacting to your comments with Lincoln Kennedy and Q Myers.
