“Why Projected No. 1 Pick Fernando Mendoza Will Skip the NFL Draft, Plus Manning’s Involvement”
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has chosen to stay home in Miami with his family instead of attending the draft in Pittsburgh. Despite league officials seeking Peyton Manning’s help to convince him otherwise, Mendoza’s decision is influenced by his mother’s battle with multiple sclerosis. He expressed the importance of sharing the moment with those who supported his journey, rather than limiting it to a small group in Pittsburgh. Mendoza, who led Indiana to a national championship and won the Heisman Trophy, is expected to be selected by the Las Vegas Raiders.
