"I mean, who hasn't admired Tom Brady? That opportunity would be fantastic. Tom Brady, I believe, was the greatest quarterback of all time by a wide margin and to be able to have the opportunity to be mentored by him, it would mean so much. And especially to learn, and I'm all about learning. So from day one, I got to learn a lot."
"Well, the pick has not been selected yet. Whatever team drafts me, I'm extremely grateful, Whether it's the number one pick or the last pick in the draft, I'd be blessed and honored to be drafted by any team and give them my all."
"It was a fantastic interview. The coaching staff was in there. We went over some of my previous plays, drew some plays on the board. I thought it was a great meeting, and I know they have the prospective number one pick, but anything can happen in the draft."
Fernando Mendoza, the expected top pick in the upcoming NFL draft, met with the Las Vegas Raiders during the Indianapolis interview process.
