Mark Sanchez Tweets on Draft Day

First Shaq, then Lance Armstrong, now the Twitterverse gives us Mark Sanchez.

On arguably the biggest day of his life Saturday, the 5th pick in the NFL draft Twittered about his experiences. A lack of experience--he only started 16 college games--was a frequent criticism of the USC quarterback. What you can't knock the guy for is a lack of charisma. His genuine excitement for being a new Jet comes through loud and clear in his Tweets:

Sanchez was a hot name in NFL circles leading up to the draft, and the New York Jets traded up to pick Sanchez.

The Jets actually scooped the NFL, announcing the pick on Twitter before the NFL made the official announcement.

What do Jets fans feel about their new QB? Safe to say they are thrilled. Brett who?
