Who Are Some of the Top Prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft?
Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana
Fernando Mendoza began the regular season as a legitimate QB1 candidate in an uncertain QB class, and he's somehow delivered tenfold on expectations, morphing into a QB1 favorite alongside Dante Moore. Through the regular season, he's thrown for 2,738 yards, 32 touchdowns, and just five interceptions in seven games. He has the second-highest PFSN QBi score in the PFSN CFB QBi database with a mark of 92.2, and he has the Indiana Hoosiers in their strongest position in almost six decades.
Every week, it's been something different Mendoza does on tape that earns the allure of NFL Draft minds. In his outing against Illinois, it was his timeliness and ability to distribute efficiently. Against Iowa, it was his ability to rebound from a tough late-game interception to throw the game-winning touchdown pass with pressure bearing down. Against Oregon, it was his unflinching consistency driving the ball outside the numbers with anticipation. Against Michigan State, it was his effortless deep touch and layering on boundary fades. And against Penn State, it was his ultimate clutch gene under the highest pressure, without his top target in Elijah Sarratt.
Against Penn State, disaster almost struck for Mendoza and the Hoosiers. Mendoza uncharacteristically struggled to string together drives, and he threw a bad interception late in the game—attempting to drive the ball to a corner route on a late trigger, keying in a safety to undercut.
That INT led to a lead-gaining touchdown for Penn State, but then laser-eyed Mendoza locked in. After taking a sack on the first play of the final drive, Mendoza went 5 for 9 for 87 yards from that point on, dishing fearless drive throw after fearless drive throw. The drive culminated in an incredible touchdown pass and catch from Mendoza to Omar Cooper Jr., wherein Mendoza threw it where only Cooper could reach.
That final drive primarily featured Mendoza working with four verticals concepts that spread the field and allowed Mendoza to play according to defensive leverage—so it wasn't all pure dropback and progression work. Still, Mendoza's clutch gene and ability to bounce back from adversity is truly elite, and that'll hold weight in the eyes of evaluators. It lines up with the advanced stats, too; per TruMedia, he's one of just 12 QBs to have a positive EPA per dropback when under pressure.
Put it all together, and you have a staggeringly complete 2026 NFL Draft prospect: At 6'5", 225 pounds, Mendoza has the prototypical frame, along with the requisite athleticism to create when needed. But ultimately, he depends on his passing ability first, and it's easy to see why. He has stellar pocket depth discipline and navigation ability, he's a quick processor who stays on-schedule, he can deliver throws with sharp situational precision, and he has the rifle arm to drive high-level velocity to his targets and hit tight windows before they close.
Mendoza isn't nearly as consistent operating on the move, particularly rolling to his left against his dominant hand, and every now and then, arm arrogance gets the best of him. But overall, he's a real QB1 contender worthy of "first overall pick" status for a QB-needy team. He has all of the physical and intangible qualities to be an elite multi-level thrower in the NFL and a franchise QB in the mold of Carson Palmer or Matt Ryan.
Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami (FL)
Reuben Bain Jr. is my top EDGE prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft -- if we're counting Arvell Reese as a hybrid. Bain's raw production hasn't followed suit from his early-season surge -- he has just two sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss halfway through the regular season -- but on the film, he's sustained his pressure-generating ways week in and week out. When he hasn't generated pressure, it's often because teams scheme to neutralize him with quick passes.
At 6'3", 275 pounds, Bain has a one-of-a-kind build for the EDGE position. He's naturally incredibly well-leveraged in contact situations, he nearly has the compact mass of a 3-tech, and he's still as explosive as many edge rushers at least 25 pounds lighter. A big concern for Bain entering the 2025 campaign was whether or not a calf injury from 2024 would sap at his explosiveness. He quelled those concerns early in 2025, looking as quick off the snap as he did in 2023.
Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
Avieon Terrell doesn't have the size-speed combination of his older brother A.J. Terrell, but nearly everything else about the younger Terrell's game is appealing. He's quick and feisty in man coverage, and fluid turning his hips upfield. He can match WRs through releases and overtop breaks, and he's active with his hands at the catch point. Meanwhile, in support, Terrell is one of the best turnover threats to come out over the past three cycles, with his ability to "peanut punch" the ball and force fumbles either crashing downhill or in pursuit. A utility CB with boundary-nickel flexibility and a supremely high floor in both phases, Terrell should earn consideration in the top 50 and take starting reps early in his career.
