RAIDERS SQUAD SHOW: The Las Vegas RAIDERS BELIEVE in Fernando MENDOZA'S timeline

The Raiders are inching closer to training camp, and the quarterback conversation continues to heat up. On this episode of the Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand take a deep dive into rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza's development. What have we seen from Mendoza during the offseason program? What are coaches and teammates saying behind the scenes? Is he progressing at the pace the Raiders expected, and where should he realistically be before training camp opens? Plus, is there any scenario where Mendoza could push Aidan O'Connell for the QB2 spot, or is the organization content letting the rookie develop without pressure? The crew also breaks down the Raiders' offensive line and projects what the starting five could look like if the season started today. Which positions are locked in, and where are the biggest battles still taking place? Could rookie tackle Trey Zuhn force his way into the lineup sooner than expected? What should Raider Nation expect from Jackson Powers-Johnson heading into Year 3, and which players have the most to gain during training camp? Later, Lincoln, Q, and Shantelle put the spotlight on three Raiders who could play key roles in 2026: wide receiver Jack Bech, linebacker Nakobe Dean, and defensive lineman Tonka Hemingway. What should expectations be for each player, and which one could become a major contributor this season? Plus, the crew answers your questions and reacts to your comments as Raider Nation joins the conversation.
