David Mendez brings classic Fordham linebacker grit with proven production
In the 2009 season, David Mendez was a steady, all-around linebacker for Fordham, finishing with 50 total tackles, 27 solo stops, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 pass breakups, 2 fumble recoveries, and an interception, while also showing playmaking instincts with 2 forced fumbles in one game[2][8]. He stood out for toughness and versatility—he handled inside linebacker duties, came back from injury in 2008, and was described as a returning experienced linebacker and an Iron Ram, which hints at both durability and a high-effort motor[2][5][14]. If you want a dependable, physical defender who shows up in the dirty work, Mendez fits the bill.
