The Las Vegas Raiders certainly didn't stop with Fernando Mendoza.

They've been quite active in bringing aboard various Indiana Hoosiers in recent days.
The latest is wide receiver Jonathan Brady. The Raiders announced on Monday that they've signed him to a contract.
Brady went undrafted before impressing the Raiders in the post-draft process.
He played just one season at Indiana (2025) and ended it as a national champion.
Brady caught 14 passes for 115 yards and three touchdowns.

His best skill, and one most likely to translate to the NFL, is punt returning. Brady averaged a ridiculous 16.5 yards per punt return for the Hoosiers, and he took one back for a touchdown.

Brady had previously spent college time at both New Mexico State and at Cal -- so he's got the Golden Bears connection with Mendoza, too.
He's not the first undrafted Hoosiers offensive player the Raiders have signed, either.
They previously brought aboard Roman Hemby , who was one of IU's running backs en route to the title, and wide receiver E.J. Williams Jr.
Vegas is definitely taking on a bit of a Bloomington flavor, and given how things went for the Hoosiers in 2025, that might not be a bad thing at all.
