Mark Sanchez Draft Profile


Mark Sanchez, QB

    Selected:

  • College: Southern Cal.
  • Age: 22
  • Height: 6-foot-2
  • Weight: 227 lbs.
  • 2008 Stats: 241-for-366 for 3,207 yards, 34 touchdowns, 10 interceptions




Scouting Report: Stellar athlete, possessing perhaps the most pure ability of any quarterback in the draft. Strong, NFL-ready arm. Quick feet and good mobility, avoids sacks well and can hurt defenses by scrambling. Heady quarterback, runs through reads rapidly and usually makes good decisions. Injury concerns linger -- suffered knee dislocation prior to 2008 season. Only one year as a full-time starter, and played for a team that outclassed opponents by wide margins talent-wise.

2009 Outlook: Stafford may need some time to adjust to the NFL, but Sanchez absolutely will due to his lack of experience. His demeanor makes him a perfect candidate to become a student of the game in 2009, seeing spot duty, but never any meaningful game action. Could be ready by 2010 to take on a starting role, but should be in the lineup by 2011.
