Mark Sanchez: Jets “Hard Knocks” life, the White House dinner fiasco, broadcast stardom

Hosts Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper are back with the Season 2 premiere of the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast. They’re joined by former Jets franchise quarterback and current FOX Sports broadcaster Mark Sanchez. In a wide-ranging interview, Mark reminisces on his time in the Hard Knocks spotlight with the Jets, how he’s navigated the spotlight since he’s been in high school, and how the Men’s Wearhouse saved his White House state dinner experience. This is just the beginning of what’s to come on this season of the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast.
