Fernando Mendoza Highlights Teammates at Pro Day Event

Fernando Mendoza enters the 2026 NFL Draft as the likely top pick. He used Indiana’s Pro Day to spotlight teammates.

Pro Day approach

Mendoza threw about 56 passes at the workout on Wednesday. Representatives from all 32 NFL teams attended.

He deliberately extended the session beyond typical quarterback workouts. He wanted everyone to show NFL-timed routes.

Teammate showcase

He said the workout aimed to help teammates make strong impressions on scouts and executives. “I feel like it went great,” Mendoza said via Michael Marot of The Associated Press.

He added it was “a little bit of a moment of a gratitude” for Indiana’s 2025 season. The session highlights his effort to help teammates at the Pro Day.

What comes next

Now Mendoza will wait three weeks to hear his name called by the Raiders. He and his former teammates will learn NFL destinations over the coming weeks.

Scouts and front offices will track where each player lands around the league. The Pro Day offered a final showcase before draft decisions are made.
