NFL Draft It says that he was the 2nd draft pick signed, and says the 1st player from the 2nd round

uhhhh he went in the 1st round not the second round of the draft

Infobox photo

Several editors have tried to replace the existing infobox photo File: 2008-1018-017-MarkSanchez.jpg, from his days at USC, with a photo of Sanchez as a Jet taken directly from the Daily News. I do agree that it would be desirable to update the photo, but so far, I haven't found a photo of Sanchez as a Jet that is (i) currently available on Wikipedia or on Commons, (ii) suitable for an infobox photo (i.e., a clear depiction of Sanchez's face), and (iii) clearly available for use under Wikipedia policies. File:NYJ Mark Sanchez.jpg is a very good photo, but it's currently marked with "This file is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy." However, the link to the discussion page for the deletion is a redlink, so either there is no such page or the link is defective. The only Sanchez/Jets photo at Commons appears to be this one [1] which is an action photo, not a clear view of his face and thus maybe OK for the body of the article but not for the infobox. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:40, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

People have to learn to be patient until a good photo shows up. There's too much intellectual property theft going on... its a combination of people genuinely wanting to help, while having little to no understanding of IP rights or their own illegal actions, and general antsy-ness. Too many people also assume anything found on Flickr is legit. We already had one that was obviously mis-uploaded to that site, and the File:NYJ Mark Sanchez.jpg photo isn't even on the credited Flickr account anymore, so its safe to assume there was a problem there too. About the only legit one is that action shot, and I agree its great for the body of the article. So I guess that's the summary: patience and we need to do a better job of informing new users not to violate the law. I am considering putting a carefully worded hidden comment on that line to warn people to not add illegally obtained images. --Bobak (talk) 21:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had placed the deletion template becouse there where no pages linking from File:NYJ Mark Sanchez.jpg. Another reason why I placed the deletion template, is if I do place the image on Mark Sanchez's page other user keep deleting it. I would be happy to remove the template and replace it with the right license. concluding that I had double checked the picture's source witch before the flickr user deleted it and apparently they had re-uploaded it back to there account.--Mr. Unknown (talk) 01:31, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. U., I understood Bobak's point to be that File:NYJ Mark Sanchez.jpg is questionable in part because it has now been deleted from the Flicker account, so the current validity of the CC license for the photo may now be in doubt. But I could be mistaken. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:21, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found an image on Flickr, uploaded it and changed the infobox photo. Looks like it has passed the Flickr reviewer.—NMajdan•talk 19:06, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mexican-American

Why is it necessary to mention his enthnicity in the first sentence? I checked and I haven't found McNabb or Vick described as African-American quarterbacks; nor Jim Kelly as an Irish-American; nor Marino as a Polish/Italian American. Is Sanchez's ethnicity a defining chracteristic?Ruedetocqueville (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. Troy Aikman is described as a "retired American Football quarterback" but the link takes you to "American Football" not "America" and "Football". Shouldn't the Sanchez article take you to Mexican-American football? :) It should be changed, and I am about to do it. Cclasby (talk) 07:41, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I second this and I would go further.In a cursory skimming of this article I came away with the idea that his ethnicity was the main focus of the article. I noticed also that there were numerous assessments of the general neighborhoods he and relatives lived in regarding predominant ethnicity.Is this really necessary or interesting?

If I was better with writing I'd sure change all of this.Maybe someone will.
When can we PLEASE just let people be people without all of this ethnicity junk?76.166.245.241 (talk) 16:19, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. "full blooded Mexican-American???
