Fernando Mendoza will not throw at NFL Combine
Fernando Mendoza, the projected top overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, will not throw at this week's NFL Combine. He will, however, throw at Indiana's pro day on April 1 to help showcase Hoosier pass catchers.
Fantasy Impact
Mendoza, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is expected to be the top overall pick at this year's NFL Draft. He threw for 3,535 yards and 41 touchdowns, against only six interceptions, in leading Indiana to a 16-0 record and the program's first-ever National Championship. Instead of throwing to unfamiliar receivers at the combine, Mendoza will save his arm until April where he will throw to the same receivers who helped him rewrite Indiana's record books.
