Fernando Mendoza is 22-going-on-your-dad, and he’s heard your jokes. One of the big talking points about Mendoza during Indiana’s ascent to the natty was that he stays off social media, unlike most of his peers, having deleted every app except for LinkedIn.

It’s the perfect post for LinkedIn that both offers a little bit of information, and also cracks a joke about B2B sales. The real question is whether or not the Raiders are going to hit him up on LinkedIn for his resume.

Now we wait and see if Mendoza will accept Las Vegas’ invitation to connect.
