BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — Fernando Mendoza was back in Bloomington on Wednesday for IU’s Pro Day.
Mendoza threw to his IU teammates in front of all 32 NFL teams. Here are eight must-read quotes from Mendoza after his workout:
1. Mendoza on getting a last moment with his IU teammates
“It was a little moment of gratitude looking at all those guys and really seeing the special moments that I’ve had with each individual, whether it’s Riley (Nowakowski), whether it’s Holden (Staes), any of the receivers, the running backs, all those guys, kind of revisit all the good times we’ve had together on and off the field is very special, because it’s really unlikely we’ll all play on the same team, but hopefully to play against or play with some of those guys.”
Mendoza helped lead IU to its first national championship in program history last season. The Hoosiers beat Miami in the national championship to cap off a 16-0 season.
2. Mendoza on if there were nerves for the Pro Day
“Yeah, there’s a little bit of nerves right before, but those nerves means I’m ready and those nerves turn to energy towards the workout and to be a better quarterback. So in that essence, there were nerves, but for me it wasn’t very high stakes. It was just having fun with the guys.”
3. Mendoza on what his main focus was at Pro Day
