The quarterback's subpar change of direction skills do show up, as he takes a couple of gather steps around the 40-yard-line to pivot up the field. But once he gets north and south, his ability to read blocks and find rushing lanes comes into play.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Mendoza shows limited lateral agility but compensates with vision and backfield navigation.

Mendoza's subpar change of direction skills were evident on scrambles, requiring gather steps to pivot upfield, though once moving north-south his ability to read blocks and find rushing lanes came into play. This limitation in lateral agility is offset by his vision and ability to navigate tight spaces in the backfield.
