Jets fans of a certain age may remember the starting quarterback for the Redskins in Sunday’s game against the Giants.
Mark Sanchez, the former first-round pick of the Jets and their franchise quarterback several times removed, will make his first start for Washington a little over two weeks after first signing with the team. He’s been pressed into service because of injuries to starter Alex Smith and backup Colt McCoy, both of whom suffered fractured legs in game action. McCoy’s happened on Monday night and Sanchez finished the game for Washington.
Sanchez is with his fourth team since leaving the Jets, but those days in New York continue to follow him.
