Fernando Mendoza given best news possible with the updated NFL Draft order

The NFL regular season is officially over, and the playoffs are set to begin this weekend. With the regular season over, that means over half of the draft order is set from one through 18. The Indiana Hoosiers are set to potentially have a couple of players taken early in the 2026 NFL Draft, including quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

The Heisman Trophy winner is currently projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with the draft order set, it looks like he will be heading to Las Vegas, Nevada, to play for the Las Vegas Raiders.
