Fernando Mendoza, the projected No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, has informed the league that he is not planning to attend the draft, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Mendoza wants to share the draft experience with his family in Miami, sources told Schefter.

The Las Vegas Raiders are widely expected to select Mendoza first overall after the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback led Indiana to the College Football Playoff championship last season.
