HENDERSON, Nev. — Fernando Mendoza put in extra effort ahead of the NFL Draft to ensure he’d be ready for pro football. The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback is also discovering there’s still a lot of work to be done to get up to speed.“As a rookie, you just try to learn the most possible,” Mendoza said Saturday. “So right now, there’s a lot of information. It’s coming like a fire hose, but at that time, I’m just trying to take it all in to get better every single day.”Advertisement
