Good news for the Jets: Mark Sanchez wants to get better, and he’s willing to listen. Proof lies in Sanchez seeking, and getting, the help of former NFL quarterback Rich Gannon.
According to USA TODAY, Sanchez and Gannon met for two days. The 2002 NFL MVP and four-time Pro Bowl quarterback came away impressed with the Jets’ QB.
“The great thing about Mark is he doesn’t just want to be good; he wants to be great,” Gannon told the newspaper. “And he’s willing to put in the work to get there. He has a very bright future.”

Sanchez led the Jets to the AFC championship game last season, but he threw an AFC-worst 20 interceptions. Clearly, he wants to improve. And the Jets, with Super Bowl hopes this year, need him to be better in order to get there.
“I really applaud a guy like that who wants to get better,” Gannon told the paper. “It’s incredible what this guy has accomplished already in winning playoff games on the road in Cincinnati and in San Diego. He’s a leader with a great deal of toughness.”
Sanchez is still recovering from the patella tendon surgery performed on his left knee in February, and has spent a considerable amount of time this off-season at the Jets’ training facility in Florham Park.
