Why Fernando Mendoza’s Selection Could Change the Las Vegas Raiders’ Future Forever
BLOOMINGTON — The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Indiana football quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick on Thursday night in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Mendoza made a little bit more history for the Hoosiers on his way out the door by ending the program’s 22-year drought without a first-round pick and the only IU drafted No. 1 overall in the modern era. Corbett Davis was the previous No. 1 choice out of IU in 1938.
He solidified the top spot in the draft months ago while leading Indiana to a national title with a perfect 16-0 record. There was little drama in recent months as the Raiders didn’t bother to hide their intentions of drafting the Heisman Trophy winner.
