The Brady Effect Is Real: Alex Guerrero Building Fernando Mendoza's Off-Season Plan
Raiders No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza revealed that Alex Guerrero — Tom Brady's longtime body coach and TB12 co-founder — is building his summer development plan. Unlike Brady, who met Guerrero mid-career, the 22-year-old rookie is getting the full blueprint for longevity before taking a single NFL snap. It's the clearest sign yet that Brady's ownership influence in Las Vegas is shaping the franchise quarterback of the future.#Raiders #FernandoMendoza #TomBrady #AlexGuerrero #RaiderNation #NFL #TB12

Las Vegas Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza says Tom Brady confidant Alex Guerrero is building his summer plan.
The most important thing Fernando Mendoza said this week almost slipped past the whole room.
The Raiders number one overall pick just dropped a name that should have Raider Nation paying attention: Alex Guerrero.
Asked how he'll spend the summer break, Mendoza said he's staying in Vegas to develop his off-season plan with the coaching and training staff and Alex Guerrero.
If that name sounds familiar, it should.
Guerrero is Tom Brady's longtime body coach and TB12 co-founder, the man behind the pliability program that kept Brady playing until 45.
Here's what makes this different.
Brady didn't meet Guerrero until later in his career.
Mendoza is 22, hasn't taken a regular season snap, and he's already getting the full longevity blueprint built around him.
This is Brady's ownership influence in the flesh, his quietest, most valuable asset shaping the franchise quarterback of the future before he ever starts a game.
Pliability skeptics can argue the science all day.
The structure and discipline, harder to argue with.
The foundation for Mendoza's NFL career is being laid right now, and that's something Raider Nation should be celebrating.
