Fernando Mendoza Faces Rookie Challenges in Raiders Camp

The No. 1 overall pick is in a training camp battle with Kirk Cousins for the starting role. Mendoza faces a major adjustment to the NFL level, a skill set challenge that could dictate how quickly he sees the field. The Raiders are weighing whether to start the rookie immediately or allow him to develop. Additionally, the team has signed WR Jonathan Brady, another of Mendoza's former Indiana teammates, to bolster the roster.
