HuskerInLostWages Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It's hard for me to believe that Kinnie runs a 4.41 I believe it. He needed an excuse to cover up for the hands of stone he inherited from a previous WR. "I run a 4.41 but i absolutely cannot catch the ball consistantly or if I am wide open and need to be counted on". Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Always been a fan of Mendoza. Always been pissed that these coaches shuffled him around and buried him here. I'll say right now, a lot of people may not see it this way, but if Mendoza goes to the NFL and lights it up, there could be quite a few more people like me, wondering why in the world such a talented athlete can't get on the field here? I will just have to believe that there was a very legitimate reason he never played..........one of those things that never comes out maybe. Sure is disappointing though. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Holy crap, Mendoza was balls out. 4.37 20 reps 11'1 broad jump 45.5'' vert. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Holy crap, Mendoza was balls out. 4.37 20 reps 11'1 broad jump 45.5'' vert. It's a shame that all that talent didn't correlate to more success on the field. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Holy crap, Mendoza was balls out. 4.37 20 reps 11'1 broad jump 45.5'' vert. With numbers like these, he will be a Brooks 2.0...He will make a roster and eventually see the field. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It's hard for me to believe that Kinnie runs a 4.41 There's no way Kinnie runs a 4.41 Some of the scouts had him hand-timed at 4.38 Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Holy crap, Mendoza was balls out. 4.37 20 reps 11'1 broad jump 45.5'' vert. I believe it. Was it the K-State game 4 years ago he racked up quite a few yards never to be heard from again? I remember watching that game and thinking that this is the next great back at Nebraska. He should have stayed in the backfield - he would have gotten 80-100 carries last year behind Rex. Maybe even stepped in after Helu left. Never know though. Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Still so bummed that Mendoza got buried on the depth chart during his time here. Freakishly good athlete as he has show. you got to wonder why........... I really do wonder why. Why can't an athlete like that return kicks and punts? Best of luck to him. Hope he gets a shot in the league. Quote Link to comment

KansasHusker Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Kinnie reminds me of Pedro Cerrano in a way from Major League. Seemed to emerge the year before, but this year, it was bonehead plays and a lack focus IMO. Quote Link to comment

robsker Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The difference between a 4.6 and a 4.4 40 is often simply from the technique you have coming off the blocks --- it is a track technique-oriented difference. So... some with good technique in track get great times but are no faster than guys on the football field who are .15-.2 seconds "slower" in the track 40. With Brandon, his football speed was good... but not special. his track speed, apparently, is special. In any event, he was not an overly effective WR for us. that is not to say that with his size, strength and speed that he could not improve and be a player in the NFL. he might just do it. best of luck to him. As for mendoza --- one of many head scratchers where you ask "how could an athlete of this caliber not see the field at NU when inferior athletes do?" Who can say... but there are many like this at NU. here too... I hope he gets a shot in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Wow I'm amazed by those numbers. Crick's might be the most impressive coming off of that type of surgery. Quote Link to comment
