Mendoza, who led Indiana to a national championship and won the Heisman Trophy, is adapting to the NFL after primarily playing in shotgun formation in college. While veteran Kirk Cousins is expected to start, Kubiak praises Mendoza’s coachability and determination. The Raiders will kick off the season against the Miami Dolphins at Allegiant Stadium.
