The seven-time Super Bowl champion commented, "I love everything about his game. Certainly, his leadership is what stands out, his relatability to his teammates, and he's overcome a lot of things in his career."

Currently the Raiders hold the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and would have their choice of quarterback:

At the moment Fernando Mendoza would appear to be the favorite to go first off the board if Las Vegas remains in top spot.

The Heisman Trophy winner's delivered exceptional results. Leading Indiana to an undefeated regular season with 3,172-passing yards, 36-TDs to only 6-INTs. The 6'5" junior is one victory away from making it to the National Championship game.

If Tom Brady has any say in the Raiders draft day room on April 23rd, it sounds like Mendoza will be wearing silver and black in 2026.
