Northern Colorado’s steady punter with proven leg strength
Mendoza’s value is built on consistency and field-position control: in the 2007 season, he averaged 39.2 yards on 24 punts with a long of 56, and he also handled the occasional extra snap on returns and even logged a rushing attempt, showing he was a versatile special-teams piece[1]. For a team looking for a dependable punter rather than a headline-grabber, his profile suggests a reliable, assignment-first player whose impact comes from limiting mistakes and flipping the field[1][2].
