Raiders\u2019 Fernando Mendoza Announce Even More Life Changing News<\/p>\n

Although Mendoza completed his college football career at the University of Indiana, he began his colligate career at California Berkley. The ability he displayed during his early years helped him catch the attention of coach Curt Cignetti. As a result of his transfer, Indiana won its first national championship in its history.<\/p>\n

Now that graduation season is upon us, and Mendoza has an academic affiliation with Cal. As a result, Mendoza had the opportunity to complete his studies in Berkley this weekend. In his graduation ceremony, he walked with his former classmates and accepted his diploma from the university.<\/p>\n

Fans immediately reacted<\/a> to this big time news:<\/p>\n

Mendoza has an opportunity to demonstrate his readiness for more reps with starters at Mini-Camp. He will likely enter the quarterback\u2019s room with a sense of confidence. Having Kirk Cousins<\/a> as a mentor should make the young quarterback that much more comfortable.<\/p>\n
