Not quite shooting his shot.

Fernando Mendoza hit Alysa Liu with a cheeky message via social media this weekend.

Mendoza, now a household name thanks to his exploits with Indiana, is heading into the NFL Draft. Experts have tipped him to go No. 1 overall this year, but he has a bit going on off the field.

The reigning Heisman took to social media on Friday, posting a photo of himself biting a ‘Fortnite’ crown. He tagged Liu in the post, asking, “Am I doing it right?”

Given the times we live in, this probably came across to some fans as the quarterback shooting his shot. However, Dexerto’s report makes it clear that wasn’t the case.

The athletes are both part of a competition with Epic Games, which publishes the popular video game.

Liu has since responded to Mendoza.

“Nah coming for the ice king?” she asked. I” eat these crowns for breakfast.”

Mendoza will soon get shots at his fair share of Kings in the NFL, as he will be going up against the best in the business, likely in year one.

He’s thought to be a nailed-on cert for No. 1, as noted above, which would mean playing for the Las Vegas Raiders.

The player has revealed that one team asked him to get arrested to lower his stock, but he’s unlikely to oblige.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
