Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Raiders, made his LinkedIn official after he was selected. His post came from his Miami home and was accompanied by a commercial for the networking app. Since being selected, Mendeza is no longer a LinkedIn user but is now starring in ads as a LinkedIn partner. His LinkedIn bio now includes a background to the NFL, U.S. Bank, and his mother, Elsa, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2015, as well as his frequent posts to LinkedIn.
