The NFL has announced that 16 prospects will attend the 2026 NFL Draft, including five standout players from Ohio State, reflecting the team’s talent from last season. Notably, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the expected first overall pick for the Raiders, has chosen to forgo attending the draft to spend the night with his family. The list of attendees features players such as David Bailey (Texas Tech), Rueben Bain Jr. (Miami), and Caleb Downs (Ohio State). The event is scheduled for Thursday, April 23.
