Ex-Jets QB Mark Sanchez admits he didn’t understand how NFL works

Mark Sanchez thought LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers would’ve been a cool Super Bowl opponent for the Jets back in the day.

Yes — you read that right.

During his rookie season, the former quarterback didn’t understand how NFL conferences worked. He recently admitted on The Official Jets Podcast he thought the Chargers would make a “crazy” opponent for that year’s Big Game.

His teammates shook their heads, and rightfully so.
