NFL confirms 16 draft attendees … It was previously confirmed that former Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, who is almost assuredly going to be the 1st player selected at this month’s draft, will not be attending the draft in Pittsburgh; instead he’ll watch how things unfold with his family in Miami, but 16 prospects will be there including Alabama QB Ty Simpson. He’ll be joined by 5 former Ohio State Buckeyes including LBs Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles, DT Kayden McDonald, S Caleb Downs and WR Carnel Tate, along with Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love, WRs Makai Lemon of USC and Jordan Tyson of Arizona State; OT Francis Mauigoa; DEs David Bailey of Texas Tech, Miami’s Rueben Bain and Keldric Faulk, and CBs Mansoor Delane of LSU and Tennessee’s Colton Hood.
