12/02: Joe Girardi Visits Jets Practice to Give Mark Sanchez Sliding Tips
Posted by: Patrick
The AP reports that Joe Girardi paid a visit to New York Jets practice to help their quarterback, Mark Sanchez, work on his sliding technique.
Jets coach Rex Ryan met Yankees president Randy Levine at the wedding of Woody Johnson, who owns the Jets. Ryan called Levine and asked him to send someone over - not anyone in particular. But, Girardi ended up being the one. He also gave the Jets a pep talk after their practice.
"This is probably the first football player he's ever done that with, but he's a natural," Ryan said, speaking of Girardi's work. "He did an outstanding job. He even talked about protecting his left hand. He did a way better job than I knew I could do, and I was right."
