Sanchez threw for 3,207 yards and 34 touchdowns against 10 interceptions as a junior, capped by a record-setting 413-yard, four-TD effort in the Rose Bowl.

Sanchez also rushed for 188 yards and four touchdowns.
Skill Set:
With Matt Stafford choosing to sit this one out, Sanchez capitalized on his opportunity at the Combine. Scouts raved about the way the ball came out of his hand, and while his arm isn’t quite in Stafford’s class there is little question he can make all the necessary throws at the NFL level. But it’s not just Sanchez’s arm that has scouts buzzing—nor is it the accuracy that allowed him to complete almost two-thirds of his pass attempts last year. What sets Sanchez apart is his anticipation and ability to read defenses and recognize blitzes. Sanchez rarely throws into coverage and scouts marvel at how he delivers a catchable ball, often releasing it before the receiver makes his move.
