In contrast to the single play he’s best known for, Mark Sanchez should slide smoothly into a new role at ESPN. The network announced the addition of its newest college football analyst Tuesday after the New York Post reported that Sanchez would be joining the company. Sanchez will work on ABC’s studio show—joining Kevin Negandhi and Jonathan Vilma—and appear on other ESPN shows like Get Up!
Sanchez leaves the game at 32 years old with a 37–36 record.
The fifth pick in the 2009 NFL draft out of Southern Caliornia, Sanchez burst into the league with the Jets, reaching back-to-back AFC championship games in ’09 and ’10, joining Ben Roethlisberger as the only two passers to have that much playoff success in their first two seasons under center.
