Fernando Mendoza

I mean, not cities, states.

And then moving to Bloomington, Indiana, which is awesome.

But zero degree and seven inches of snow is not, you know, is not ideal, especially for someone who comes from a warmer weather state.

But I believe those experiences also primed me for the NFL to then play in cold weather performances and cold weather games.

But there was definitely a lot of, you know, weariness and maybe some, not some regrets, but maybe some double takes at first.

However, God's plan worked.

pride and true and been very blessed this year.

You grew up a Dolphins fan?

I grew up... I did, but I really didn't because although I liked the Dolphins... You can be honest now.

I was a huge Miami Hurricanes fan, but my dad did his medical residency in Boston.

And so I only lived there for two years.

But when I was seven years old, I watched... I think I was like six years old, actually.

I watched the New England Patriots play the Giants.

And although they lost, I fell enamored with the New England Patriots.

So that was my team growing up.

Have you met Tom Brady?

I have.

I've met him in the official 30 visit at the Raiders.

And how did that go?

It was fantastic.
