Scouting Report: Strengths
- Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
- Attacks his man, playing with a wide base and the lateral agility to mirror, sustain and shuffle to help inside. Has the size, strength and quick feet to be effective as a position run-blocker.
- Mendoza has the size teams look for at the tackle spots, and that is probably enough to get him a look as a swing tackle.
- Fires out of his stance with a good pad level, consistently winning at the point of attack.
- He’s a coordinated athlete who can win at the point of attack in the run game, and Mendoza can also move to consistently land blocks at the second level.
- Has violent hands and, when his placement is right, can control pass rushers. He’s aggressive in the run game, with a good initial burst off the line of scrimmage and a mean streak and willingness to play through the whistle.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
- For all of his physical gifts, often gets terribly sloppy, especially in pass protection.
- While Mendoza displays a decent amount of strength at the point of attack, he lacks the raw power to re-establish the line of scrimmage in short-yardage situations.
