From the episode

Veterans now 20 days away from reporting on the 28th, even shorter for the number one overall pick for Fernando Mendoza. They report on the 23rd... There's been a lot of great mentors in that quarterback room so far. And. A big thing with Kirk is the way that he just processes information... seeing the way he stays after hours is there till 7 p.m. At night studying is something that I look up to and I'm looking to replicate.

Mendoza reports early July 23rd; learning preparation habits from Kirk Cousins in QB room.

Mendoza will report to Raiders training camp on July 23rd (earlier than the rest of the roster on July 28th) and is learning from Kirk Cousins in the quarterback room. Cousins' preparation methods—staying after hours until 7 p.m. studying, meticulous note-taking, and information processing—are serving as a model for Mendoza's own development process.
