Mark Sanchez was recently named the starting quarterback for the New York Jets. On Saturday, he showed the Jets that they made the right choice. In a preseason game against the New York Giants, Sanchez looked like a legit starter as he played very well.
For the game, Sanchez was 13-for-20 with one touchdown and no interceptions. His touchdown came on an impressive toss to Chansi Stuckey in the middle of the second quarter.
Sanchez pointed to his starting gig as a reason why he performed so well.
Said Sanchez: “You get a little more confidence when you know your coach believes in you and has named you the starter. It was similar to that at SC. Once you’re the guy, you talk a little different, you walk a little different and you act a little different.”
The Jets play their final preseason game on September 3rd against the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanchez will play in his first NFL regular season game in Week 1 of the 2009 season against the Houston Texans.
