Switching it up to Vikings legend John Randle now, after I saw he posted an anti-ICE message on his social media
Mendoza was so incredibly clutch this year…
But let’s not entirely forget that he was the reason a lot of those clutch 4th-quarter throws were needed.

3rd game of the year where Mendoza nearly blows it with a 4th quarter interception (and all three were entirely his fault).
Hard to tell exactly what happened. It's slightly underthrown (his arm isn't great on the run) but he may have not seen the safety, or just thought he could get it in time

Gonna try to share more scouting reports here this draft season.
I'll hold off on posting most of them until after the combine so I can add in testing numbers but wanted to share one now for feedback.
Thoughts? Font readable on your phone? Too crowded?
I'm open to feedback on the format

The way David Bailey terrorized Houston this year was pretty incredible.

Two straight blowouts, why should the AFC get an automatic Super Bowl berth?
We are seeing a blowout in the Super Bowl. Should the NFL panic and change the entire playoff format?
