From the article

Mendoza ends up forcing a throw to Elijah Sarratt, who is double covered on the pylon route with the safety coming over the top; Mendoza recognizes that the pressure is coming and comes off his first read to get his quick-hitter or answer against pressure, finding the tight end on the sit/curl route

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Sarratt was featured in both forced and smart-read plays, showing Mendoza's progression.

Tight end featured in multiple play examples illustrating Mendoza's decision-making under pressure. On one bootleg play, Mendoza forced a throw to Sarratt who was double covered on a pylon route with safety help, resulting in an incomplete pass and third-and-long situation when Omar Cooper Jr. was wide open. On another play, Sarratt was Mendoza's initial read on an out route against Cover 3, but Mendoza correctly recognized the safety rotating down into the curl-to-flat zone made it risky and came off to find the tight end on a sit/curl route over the center instead, moving the sticks and putting the offense in scoring position.
