Mike Vrabel Continues Shaping New Patriots Culture | Scouting Breakdown of Fernando Mendoza

The New England Patriots made waves with a flurry of roster moves, extending Marcus Jones while trading away Kyle Duggar and Keon White in deals that signal Mike Vrabel's clear vision for the franchise's future. Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs break down how these transactions reshape both the Patriots' defense and their destinations—Pittsburgh and San Francisco—where both players land in situations with immediate playing opportunities.
The spotlight then shifts to Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza, a red-shirt junior generating serious NFL buzz after leading his team to an impressive 6-2 record, including a statement road win at Oregon. The hosts analyze Mendoza's accurate passing, pocket movement, and toughness while comparing his physical profile to Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins. They examine whether his high-floor skill set and processing ability can translate to becoming a top-12 NFL starter despite average physical tools.
Tune in for expert scouting analysis on the Patriots' roster shake-up and whether Mendoza has what it takes to be an early-round quarterback selection.
