FRISCO, Texas – Mark Sanchez remembers seeing punter Steve Weatherford on a training room table before his first playoff game as a rookie quarterback for the New York Jets during the 2009 season.
“Did you ever see ‘I am Legend,’ the movie? Remember when they capture the zombie guy and he’s in there breathing superfast?” Sanchez said. “I promise you he was on the training room table like that before we took the field.”
Weatherford had a heart condition since high school but it was never problem in the NFL until that day.
