It looks like he is skipping the workout at the combine (don't blame him), and he is going to throw at the pro day.

"I want to make sure I give my guys the best chance. I want to throw at pro day with my guys, with my running backs and be there with the boys."

I'm sure this has been noted, but I realized something when Drew Brees was elected to the HOF. 

The Toiletmakers like to refer to themselves as the "Cradle of Quarterbacks," and no doubt, they've had some exceptional ones: 

Len Dawson
Bob Griese
Mike Phipps
Gary Danielson
Jim Everett
Drew Brees
Kyle Orton

Do you know how many of those guys won the Heisman? 

0

Yet IU -- the one-time worst power conference program in the country -- has had a QB win the Heisman. 

So, to sum up ... 

National championships 
IU 1, PU 0

Heisman Trophies
IU 1, PU 0

There are a lot of You Tube videos from Friday of Fernando doing the rounds at the Super Bowl.  If I can find a couple of the videos, I will post them.  There were also a couple talking about him possibly going to the Raiders with Kubiak and his system.  He breaks it down pretty good and talks about what Kubiak does as compared to what IU did this last season.  He has the mental part down which doesn't surprise me seeing as he is a tape junky.

Also, after watching a few of the videos, I am reminded that the Raiders have a huge Latino following, especially in So Cal.  Drafting Mendoza will almost instantly be popular among them, and they will sell a ton of his jerseys if he will be as good as we think he will. I can't wait to see how it all will shake out.
