NFL Trades Affect Francisco Mendoza, Keenan Allen

Tuesday's NFL transactions in the form of trades affected the young and the old ex-Cal players. Fernando Mendoza, a Cal graduate, even though he ended up in Indiana, will become a starter now that Kirk Cousins was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Vikings. Mendoza has not started a game as a pro yet, even though he was the number one overall pick. And his first game will be against the defending national NFL champion Seahawks. His next game after that will be against the Denver Broncos in Denver, where it's almost impossible to win. So he has some great things looking ahead. And Keenan Allen, who is the oldest active wide receiver in the NFL now, He was traded to the... 49ers. He goes from a team that's headed nowhere to a team that's contending for a Super Bowl. And he, like I said, is the oldest wide receiver in the NFL. And he has statistics that suggest he could be going to the Hall of Fame. The other older Cal, ex-Cal players in the NFL are Aaron Rodgers, of course, who will be 42 next month and, of course, is going to the Hall of Fame. Cameron Jordan, defensive end, who has a... a shot at going to the uh hall of fame he's the second oldest defensive end and Brian Anger who is the oldest punter in the nfl now punters usually don't make it to the nfl there's only one ray guy but he has some pretty good numbers now he's not going to make it to the hall of fame i don't think but he does have some impressive numbers and keenan allen who has 40 receptions this year. He's still a productive wide receiver. He's in the top 10 of all time in receptions. So he has enough stats to suggest he could be in the Hall of Fame too.
