Mark Sanchez was drafted by the New York Jets in 2009 and led them to the AFC Championship game in his first two seasons. However, after key offensive players left, Sanchez struggled and his numbers declined. He was later cut by the Jets in 2013. Sanchez then signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a backup but was thrust into a starting role when Nick Foles got injured. Since then, Sanchez has led the Eagles to a 4-2 record as a starter and proven he can still play in the NFL by completing a career high 62% of his passes.
