You know the stats, the yards, the touchdowns, the highlight reels. Sure, they’re impressive, but they don’t tell the whole story. If you want to know more than just the numbers? let’s dive in to five fun facts you need to know about Miami’s new QB.
Let's get it!
When he first showed up at Tulane, one of his coaches joked that Mensah had the “basketball walk” — and if you know, you know.
That’s part of why his game still feels like it’s growing. He’s adding stuff now that a lot of quarterbacks already had figured out years ago, and it shows, and been showing.
Which probably means growing up in that house wasn’t exactly laid back. And also, she could possibly join him at Miami?
When asked what he listens to, he said:
“Vibrational frequencies… It’s like a noise you listen to, like a constant ringing. It’s like calming music, I guess.”
So yeah, while the rest of the team is getting pumped to Meek Mill, Drake or Travis Scott, Mensah is out here zoning into cosmic calm. Weird? Definitely. Effective? So far, yes.
Mensah went from sharing a 2013 Dodge Charger with his sister Grace in high school to rolling up in a Mercedes now. And yeah, he’s got the house and a Rolex to match, he even flexes it on his YouTube channel.
