#Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza said he and the coaches are working most on his first two steps from under center as he adjusts to that part of the game
He said he's been working with the centers at the hotel, taking snaps over there and getting extra work with them, too
He can do it or he can't. Either the knee works or it doesn't. Tim Brown mattered, McCoy doesn't.Sam Warren

Jermod McCoy is returning punts at Raiders rookie minicamp.
Don't get cute, you fucks.
What happens if Mendoza isn’t under contract and he tears an ACL?
WR Chase Roberts not seen at today's practice.
Confusion over the #28 jerseys. McCoy was in the white 28. The black 28 was someone else; probably someone on a tryout.
"Players sign a "rookie participation agreement," and it essentially assures a draft pick injured during minicamps, offseason workouts or the rookie development program will receive the same contract he would have if healthy.I used to know the answer to this. They sign something before practicing without a contract, I think.
@Handicapper General Contract question. You're up.
F’ Darnold.Under center. Two backs. 😍

Fernando Mendoza working on the nuances of Klint Kubiak’s faves
Toward the very end, here… he actually looks like Sam Darnold a bit the way he throws off the weak shoulder
Pffft. This is likely from Ai."Players sign a "rookie participation agreement," and it essentially assures a draft pick injured during minicamps, offseason workouts or the rookie development program will receive the same contract he would have if healthy.
While each team can word differently their version of the paperwork, a player not under contract and his agent can sign a rookie participation agreement along with team officials.
It guarantees nothing but "good faith" in negotiations should an injury happen without contract, but good faith is easier to define in the post-2010 era of pre-determined contract parameters."
No, a news article, hence the quotes.Pffft. This is likely from Ai.
Training him to be the backup too it seems. Guess they're fully having Lennie Small focus on Guard.Sam Warren

Some center reps for Zuhn.
