Fernando Mendoza receives Las Vegas Raiders bobblehead
Summary

Fernando Mendoza, the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, has been honored with a bobblehead, unveiled by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum on June 12. The bobblehead features Mendoza alongside the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. It follows his notable performance leading Indiana to a national championship, where he scored the decisive touchdown in a 27-21 victory over Miami. The limited-edition bobbleheads are priced at $45 and set to ship in November. Mendoza, although a standout, is not expected to start immediately for the Raiders as the team signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason.
