Las Vegas Raiders rookies Fernando Mendoza and Mike Washington Jr. are two of the most heralded draft picks that the Raiders made in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they will be front and center before brands looking to strike lucrative partnerships with them later this spring.
The star QB and RB respectively have been invited to attend the 2026 NFLPA Rookie Premiere.
Mendoza and Washington will be among the 42 rookies that will be exposed to brands looking to create mutually beneficial “player-driven product and campaigns with the next faces of the sport.”
The Raiders selected Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy in 2025 and is looked at as the Raiders’ next franchise quarterback.
Washington was selected by Las Vegas with the No. 122 overall pick in the fourth round of the draft. The 6-1, 225-pound back will be in position to carve out a significant role for himself in Las Vegas’ offense next season behind starting running back Ashton Jeanty.
The 2026 NFLPA Rookie Premiere will will provide Mendoza and Washington with their first marketing opportunity in the NFL.
