Fernando also graduated from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business in three years (finishing up over the last summer) before transferring to Indiana to enter grad school. The dude is driven. He is a winner in life, not just football.

But does he sway side to side and look braindead in interviews?

If 4.0 is straight A's...WTF is a 4.7?

Swamp Angel•26 days

It's the bullsh*t weighted classes that were created to boost the GPAs of students by saying that some A's were worth more than others in the same course of study.
I'm with you - anything above a 4.0 smells suspiciously like BS.

If you’ve seen this kid talk in an interview this shouldn’t surprise you

Awesome!!! 25 years ago I was hoping I would find this type of content on the internet.

But, did he go to Marksville High?

Which means he may or may not be a Sunday starter.

His dad is an ER doctor so this isn’t surprising at all

What he left out is that Christopher Columbus High School averages around a 3.5 GPA, and at nearly $20,000 a year, maintaining a high GPA is expected, hell, it is required!

Timeoday•28 days

So he is more intelligent than Sander's kid. I never would have believed it without facts before me

rattlebucket•28 days

Yeah but whats his wonderlic score?

SaintEB•28 days

Could be worse. Could be a video of him hitting a bong leaking right before the draft.

4.7 isnt a real number. GPAflation has got to stop

atltiger6487•28 days

good lord, it certainly IS a real number if Mendoza took a lot of AP classes. You get an extra point boost for an A. I guess you never took AP classes.

It is. An "A" in a(n) honors/AP/gifted course is not the same as an A in a regular class. It's much more difficult, and it should be reflected in the GPA.

I was a borderline genius and got mostly Bs in AP classes, they are tough

Leaking a kid’s HS grades crosses the Mendoza Line in this case.

So the uber dork who plays D1 quarterback is actually smart? Shocker.

jlbasm•28 days
