#1 pick Fernando Mendoza shows acting chops in schedule release video
· Yahoo Sports
There are numerous different ways that NFL social media and content teams go schedule release day. The Los Angeles Chargers are kind of like the league's dynasty when it comes to schedule release videos. They're known to consistently needle their opponents, trolling them at a level that goes right up to the line.
Other teams play it safe with their content, like the Cincinnati Bengals. And then other teams just focus on themselves, and when they do, adopt a theme. The theme could be a takeoff or parody of a movie, video game, television show or other form of well known pop culture staple.

In the case of the Las Vegas Raiders, they decided to go with a send-up of Step Brothers, the 2008 Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly film.
It starred Fernando Mendoza, the #1 overall pick in last month's draft, out of Indiana, and Kirk Cousins, the 13 year veteran and four time Pro Bowler, as Brennan Huff and Dale Doback.

Now the acting ability on display here is...well, depends on who you look at it. For professional football players, they're pretty funny. They have range. Certainly, they had better comedic timing than you might have expected.
Overall though, these two quarterbacks, at the opposite ends of their professional careers, won't be giving up the gridiron and going into show business any time soon.
Still this was certainly a top ten, if not top five, in the 2026 class of NFL schedule release videos.Â
