STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mendoza's strongest camp practice shows poise, efficiency, and potential Day 1 starter readiness.

The first overall pick delivered his strongest practice of training camp, throwing multiple touchdown passes while looking poised and efficient running the offense. His best work came during a crisp two-minute drill in which he methodically moved the Raiders into scoring range. Aside from a fumbled snap exchange and one snap that sailed over his head, Mendoza and the first-team offense were essentially flawless, spraying the ball all over the field with confidence and accuracy, maximizing three red-zone periods with three touchdown throws. For a rookie quarterback still supposed to be learning, Mendoza looked awfully comfortable with the keys in his hands, offering compelling evidence that he is exactly where the Raiders hoped he would be, and perhaps even a little further ahead, less than two weeks into his first NFL training camp.
