Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love Headline NFL Players Rookie Premiere Invite List After 2026 Draft

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love are among the players invited to the NFL Players Rookie Premiere following the 2026 draft, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

The Rookie Premiere is an annual NFL Players Association event that allows incoming first-year players to learn about the business side of the league and try on the uniforms of their respective teams.

Rookies will also be able to meet with partners and begin making deals with brands.

The Raiders selected Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft, while the Cardinals added Love at No. 3.

Mendoza is entering his rookie season with high expectations, as he's coming off a 2025 campaign in which he earned Heisman Trophy honors and helped lead Indiana to a national championship.

He completed 72.0 percent of his throws for 3,535 yards and 41 touchdowns compared to a mere six interceptions across 16 starts last year. Mendoza also found the end zone seven times on the ground.

Love is also projected to be a key piece of Arizona's offense in 2026 following a dominant 2025 season with Notre Dame.

In 12 games, he rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns while averaging 6.9 yards per carry. Love also made his presence felt as a receiver, finishing with 27 catches for 280 yards and three scores.

The 2026 Rookie Premiere will take place in Los Angeles and begin on May 14.
