Mendoza explained that as a rookie at the bottom of the totem pole, missing practice is not an option. He emphasized that hard work matters more than the shine of a championship. "I can't miss practice," he stated. "I don't think that's a good look." His mindset echoes past legends like Larry Bird, valuing football above all else. xsportfeed.life
