"At the combine, you're throwing to different receivers, it's a whole different thing. And I want to make sure I give my guys the best chance. I want to throw at pro day with my guys, with my running backs and be there with the boys."
"The combine, I don't think throwing's going to be a priority just because it's such a quick turnaround."
"a huge football idol of mine."
Fernando Mendoza opted not to throw at the NFL scouting combine, choosing to prioritize throwing with his Indiana teammates at their pro day to preserve timing and chemistry. Mendoza emphasized that combine throws involve different receivers and a quick turnaround that reduces the priority of throwing drills. Mendoza enters the draft after a Heisman-winning season that produced Indiana's first unbeaten record and a national title and is the overwhelming favorite for the No. 1 overall pick, with the Las Vegas Raiders expected to select him. Mendoza praised Klint Kubiak's quarterback development and called Tom Brady a major football idol; Indiana teammates entering the draft include wide receivers Omar Cooper Jr. and Elijah Sarratt.
