Who is Fernando Mendoza? Meet the likely No 1 NFL Draft pick

Fernando Mendoza announced on LinkedIn he was 'open to work' earlier this year. On Thursday, he will find 'work' as the No 1 overall pick at the 2026 NFL Draft - barring any late chaos.

He is a self-embraced nerd, a conscientious thinker, a joyous competitor and an articulate business graduate who steers and inspires by example both on and off the field, now primed to become the new face of the Las Vegas Raiders.
