How Fernando Mendoza’s Shocking NFL Draft Journey Defied All Odds
When Mendoza grew old enough to show interest in playing sports, there was little doubt what path he wanted to take. He didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his mom, a former University of Miami tennis player, or his dad, a former high school offensive lineman and college rowing champion. He wanted to sling the football like Brady.
Mendoza often credits his mom with teaching him and his younger brother Alberto how to throw, but the truth is that Elsa was smart enough to know her limitations. As her boys began to grow more serious about football, she put them in camps and flag football leagues and searched for coaches who could teach them proper throwing mechanics and footwork.
