Yardbarker: Mark Sanchez

For all the 'San-chize' fans out there ...

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:15:36 -0500

Jets QB Mark Sanchez has been named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month, the league announced today. He became the first player in the Jets history to receive the honor, which has been handed out since 1996. LB David Harris won the defensive version in 2007. It was a better-than-expected month for Sanchez, who won his first three starts (the first rookie QB in history to start a season that way) and compiled a solid 87.7 passer rating. He committed only three turnovers. Who was his competition? I'd say Vikings WR Percy Harvin (12 catches, 128 yards, 2 TDs) was the primary competition. Harvin also scored on a kickoff return, but, remember, this was the offensive award. Interestingly, the Jets tried to draft Harvin after grabbing Sanchez, attempting to move back into the first round. Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno (46 rushes, 184 yards, 4.0 average, 1 TD) and Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (34 rushes, 148 yards, 4.4, 1) also had very good months.

So it is pretty obvious that Mark Sanchez is more than excited and ready to live the NFL lifestyle, well at least the off the field part of the NFL life. Mark Sanchez has already made ripples for his upcoming GQ photo shoot, which could be his undoing before he even steps onto an NFL field. However, Sanchez does not just act like a model, he also dates them. Check out Mark Sanchez's smoking hot girlfriend, bikini model Hilary Rhoda.

Even if Sanchez is not a winner on the field, he is a winner in life for this one.

New York Jets: Mark Sanchez videos

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:58:47 -0500

One of the best stories from Draft weekend: Mark Sanchez talks about one of Pete Carrol's famed pranks: cruel and inappropriate and blasted by the media. The story starts maybe 20 or 30 seconds into the video. The second video is his full press conference.

Also check out the embarrassing Sanchez hair-care video. I didn't think I'd get flustered by the question. I practiced maybe six times in my head. I thought I was all ready to go. Then I froze with fear as soon as I had his attention and realized I was about to ask another grown man about his hair, and in front of the national media.

On behalf of ladies everywhere, Dewey braved Mark Sanchez's press conference to ask this very important question: how does he keep that hair looking so touchable?

You done good Dewey! And I don't blame you for prefacing the question twice to make sure he knew it was coming from a woman. As for his answer... of course it's natural. Well now he's even dreamier.

Who Will Be The Rookie Of The Year In 2009?

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:20:52 -0500

It’s an intriguing question isn’t it? Which player will be the rookie of the year in 2009? It’s not something that takes more than one year into account, which is key. I may think Mark Sanchez will be a better overall player than Matthew Stafford but in one season Stafford could outplay Sanchez.
