Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza said he is adjusting to the footwork that comes with playing under center. "And with that, actually having an emphasis on those first two steps, on securing the snap and getting out of there, and being powerful with having quick feet," Mendoza said.
Huddle Up: After playing mostly in the shotgun in college, Mendoza is making the transition to playing under center while also learning a new offense. It still remains to be seen if it will Mendoza or Kirk Cousins under center in Week 1, but regardless, Mendoza should be the first quarterback selected in rookie drafts and has plenty of long-term upside.

Huddle Up: The Raiders brought in Kirk Cousins, but it still wouldn't be a surprise to see Mendoza open the year as the starter. Whenever Mendoza does end up under center, he should be a QB2 with plenty of long-term upside.

Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is the Las Vegas Raiders' target with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The team prefers not to start him immediately, though, and will look to bring in a bridge veteran.
Huddle Up: Mendoza has good size and intangibles, but their offensive line leaves a lot to be desired. He'll be a midrange QB2 target in universal leagues and is more of a dynasty option.
