Fernando Mendoza informs NFL he will not attend the draft in Pittsburgh
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the likely No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, will not attend the event in Pittsburgh and plans to be in Miami with his family instead.
- Mendoza is the heavy favorite to be selected by the Raiders as the first overall pick, making it highly unlikely he won’t be chosen first.
- The NFL has not disclosed which prospects will be present at the draft in Pittsburgh, but Mendoza’s absence means he will not receive the first handshake and hug from commissioner Roger Goodell in person.
