Prospect Information College: Indiana Height/Weight: 6’ 5"/236 Hands: 9 1/2" Age: 22 (at the time of the 2026 season opener) Important NFL Combine/Pro Day Numbers 40-Yard Dash: N/A Vertical Jump: N/A Broad Jump: N/A 20-Yard Shuttle: N/A 3-Cone: N/A Model Overview — Why the Model Likes This Profile My Quarterback Rookie Model is designed to isolate the traits that historically translate into fantasy-relevant quarterbacks. The model weighs several key indicators, including passing efficiency growth curves, big-time throw creation, vertical passing ability, turnover avoidance, rushing production, physical thresholds and expected draft capital. Quarterbacks who combine strong passing efficiency with vertical aggression and even modest rushing output tend to produce the strongest early fantasy results.

Mendoza grades well in several of those categories. His profile stands out most in three areas: • high-end adjusted completion efficiency • explosive passing production growth • enough mobility to generate a consistent rushing floor When those traits appear together historically, quarterbacks tend to become fantasy starters rather than pure pocket passers. Model Derived Metrics BMI: 26.

7 Athletic Score (QB model): 0. 62 Mendoza does not profile as a dual-threat quarterback, but his athletic profile falls squarely into the modern pocket-mover archetype. These quarterbacks win from the pocket but can extend plays and scramble when necessary.

Historically, this bucket produces quarterbacks who can generate fantasy value through passing efficiency with a modest rushing floor. Efficiency Metrics Adjusted Completion Percentage: 79. 6% (8th) Average Depth of Target: 9.
