Overview
- Orlovsky’s appearance on The Pat McAfee Show Tuesday drew sharp pushback after he questioned which “biggest games” Fernando Mendoza had played.
- He cited Indiana having six points through three quarters in the Big Ten title game, a detail Yahoo Sports reported was incorrect.
- Orlovsky said he texted 12 to 15 NFL decision-makers who mostly agreed Ty Simpson is QB1, a claim that remains unverified by independent reporting.
- Viewers and McAfee raised questions about shared representation at CAA, and Orlovsky said agents do not influence his opinions.
- Mendoza remains widely projected as the Raiders’ No. 1 pick after a title-winning season, while Simpson’s profile rose post-combine with support from some ESPN colleagues and public dissent from Mel Kiper, who still ranks Mendoza first.
