STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mendoza is pushing for a starting role sooner than expected.

Mendoza is showing unexpected poise and comfort in the offense, including under-center footwork and full-field progressions. While the team initially planned to sit him, the source believes he is pushing to start sooner than expected, potentially by October, as he has exceeded expectations regarding his transition to the pro-style offense.
