Kirk Cousins watched film with Fernando Mendoza on Raiders visit
Fernando Mendoza made his pre-draft visit to Las Vegas as the Raiders look to draft him. And even got to sit down for a film session with Kirk Cousins.
From the sounds of it, Mendoza's visit to Las Vegas on Tuesday was quite useful. Both for him and the Raiders . The Heisman Trophy and National Championship winning QB took his one and only pre-draft visit to the team who is expected to select him at number one overall in this month's NFL Draft.
And when he arrived, he was greeted by the GOAT Tom Brady and newly signed Raiders QB Kirk Cousins. The latter speaking with the media Wednesday for his introductory press conference where he was asked for his thoughts on Mendoza. "I've watched him from a distance.
He had an incredible college career. Got to run into him yesterday at his draft visit. He seems like a high-caliber person and if we're fortunate enough to get him here, then it will be a privilege to work together," said Cousins, adding that he sees Mendoza as having a "natural feel for the position.
" The thing is, though, Cousins didn't just "run into" Mendoza during his visit. The two actually sat down and watched film together, as Cousins told Good Morning Football. He also spoke more definitively about Mendoza being drafted by the Raiders.
