From the article

Mendoza's lateral movement skills are one area of improvement for him in the NFL, and that shows up in his pocket management or mobility. He's a good linear athlete who has the speed to pick up yards with his legs when needed, but his change of direction and agility are lacking.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Mendoza's lateral agility and pocket escape skills are NFL-level concerns.

Mendoza's lateral movement skills and change of direction are areas of improvement for the NFL level. He is a good linear athlete with speed to pick up yards on his legs, but his agility and short-area quickness to pivot and escape the pocket are lacking. This deficiency led to sacks in the Big Ten Championship, particularly when forced to move laterally out of the pocket against Ohio State's pressure schemes.
