If you pitched this as a screenplay, every studio would reject it for being too on-the-nose.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit ranked 2,149th in his high school class. Zero FBS scholarship offers. Not one. He walked on at Cal, fought for a starting job, transferred to Indiana for his senior year, then led them to 16-0 and the first national title in school history. Heisman, Walter Camp, Maxwell, Davey O'Brien, Manning, Big Ten MVP. 41 TDs, 72% completion, 8-to-0 TD-to-INT ratio in the playoffs.
The Raiders took him #1 overall Thursday night. $54.56M fully guaranteed. Only the third player ever to win the Heisman, win a national championship, and go first overall the next spring. Burrow. Newton. Mendoza.
Then he skipped Pittsburgh.
The biggest stage in football, the moment every kid imagines from the second they pick up a ball, and Fernando watched the call from his living room in Florida because his mom Elsa is in a wheelchair and the travel is hard for her. She was diagnosed with MS when he was 4. She wrote a letter to her sons in The Players Tribune in 2015 promising the disease "won't affect us in the ways that matter."
The part nobody talks about: while every other top pick was on stage, Fernando announced the Mendoza Family Fund the same day. $500K personal donation to the National MS Society. Committed to raising $1M over three years. He hasn't taken an NFL snap and he's already given more to a cause than most players donate in a full career.
He and his brother Alberto have already raised $360K through the Mendoza Bros. Burger at BuffaLouie's in Bloomington. At Christmas, he handed four families dealing with MS $10,000 each for an Adidas shopping spree.
Both his parents are children of Cuban refugees who fled Castro. His dad rowed at Brown, won a Junior World Championship in 1987, and played high school football in Miami next to a teammate named Mario Cristobal. Fernando beat his dad's old teammate in the national championship game in January.
Every athlete talks about playing for their family. Fernando actually did it.

Fernando Mendoza stayed home with his mom to celebrate being selected first overall in the NFL Draft instead of attending the in-person celebration She has multiple sclerosis, causing her to be in a wheelchair. This is what matters. Not trophies—family.

@elitetakes_ I sound like a broken record but I’m happy with the class, obviously still upset about the Proctor pick (begging to be proven wrong) but we have a vision which we definitely couldn’t say about Grier and his classes and that feels nice. I’d give it a solid B maybe B+. I feel good

Definitely took a turn for the better after the 1st pick. I think the 87-200 stretch will pay serious dividends

@GhostOfAdamGase B, we had Downs or Vega instead in round 1 I would damn near say A

@FBallAnalysisYT I love the draft all besides the Proctor pick, I can’t get over passing on Caleb downs when he fell right into our lap or even Bain. But Sully is also set on his vision and he’s stuck by it

@elitetakes_ I don’t much about him at all, but everything I’m seeing is that he could be our slot guy long term seems like a mega steal
