The pro days continue now around the NFL's. We're heading into NFL draft territory.

0:04.2

Fernando Mendoza, wow, Raiders, brass. Exactly. So, yeah, I mean, and it's not, it's not surprising at all.

0:12.4

The kid is extremely bright. He has all the physical attributes you want. And yesterday, it looked like he threw the ball really well, was very accurate,

0:21.6

threw like, I think 60 passes. And he just looks the part, man. And he's already immersed

0:28.3

himself, as I'm being told, into the Raiders' West Coast offense that Clint Kubiak's going

0:34.2

to be bringing him to the Raiders. And I think when you see the success that Sam Donald had with Clint Kubiak,

0:40.5

it's an offensive play caller and designer, you know that this kid fits in there perfectly,

0:45.6

absolutely perfectly.

0:47.4

Yeah, they lucked out.

0:48.8

They were a team that wasn't supposed to be as bad as they were, and they were the worst in the league.

0:53.9

This would have been a great person for the Jets to draft and team up with Frank Reich,

0:59.5

and it's infuriating to think that he's going to go to the Raiders,

1:03.8

as I do believe this guy's going to have a very good NFL career,

1:08.0

and it's just someone you want to root for because of his personality and watching

1:14.4

him grow into a superstar and winning that national championship.

1:18.7

And by the way, he's a little bit older and he's already graduated with a finance degree.

1:22.7

Yeah.

1:23.0

I mean, so the kids got the smarts. He's got the respect of his teammates, which means a lot to me. When you watch him and you watch their games and you watch how the coaches, the players all react to him, there's not a selfish bone in this kid's body. Yeah, which is great for the quarterback position. Right. And he wants to be a leader. And he, you know, listen, it's going to be a lot thrown at him. There's no question about it. But I think it was a match made in heaven once they hired Clint Kubiak and they're going to take this kid with the number one pick. It's just absolutely, it's a perfect fit. Now, whether or not the Raiders get out of their, you know, bad drafting habits and hopefully there's enough players around him that he's going to have

2:01.3

some success. And I'm thinking about, you know, they're tight end, they're running back. I mean,

2:05.2

they have some players. The question now is, you know, can they continue to add to that and then

2:10.6

allow him in two years to lead them back to the playoffs? I could see that. Was there a reason for him to even participate in this pro day?

2:20.1

He wants to. He wants to show people that he can play.
