Does No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza being emotional on the podium in early August preseason raise the question of taking too much blame on himself? Why did his 'good guy' vibe grab so much attention from a former coach?
The Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback faced the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.
Mendoza finished 10 of 16 passing for 97 yards and threw a touchdown to wide receiver Jack Bech.
But Indiana's product wasn't happy, Mendoza feels there was a lack of timing. About his professional debut, he says:
"Overall, I felt the group that I was in with, they blocked fantastic," Mendoza said. "They had great routes. The run game was good. Unfortunately, I let my teammates down today. But it's a growing experience."
