He has quite a bit of talent to assist--most notably the extremely talented TE, Brock Bowers two years out from his time at UGA, Mendoza may give the Raiders some improved success. We shall see. I am a fan of the latter; the former, not so much, given what I perceive to be both talent and a cringe-worthy manipulative insincerity when he speaks (he admitted that he prepared his press canned statements via AI during his time at UC-Berkeley before transferring to Indiana). Those vibes apparently don't hit for most people, but they certainly do with me.
