Welcome to the NFL, rookie.

After the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade starting quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, they will now turn the offense over to No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza.

The 23-year-old rookie out of Indiana will face a brutal debut as Las Vegas is set to host the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. Seattle's defense ranks first in passing yards allowed per game (155.1), tied for fifth in interceptions (eight) and fifth in points allowed per contest (18.0) this season.

After that, Mendoza will go on the road to face the Denver Broncos coming out of their bye week at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 11 (Nov. 22). Denver's defense also has eight interceptions, and the unit is tied for fourth in sacks (26) and ranks tenth in points allowed (20.7).

So it will be a tough test for Mendoza as he begins his journey as a starting QB in the NFL.
