The Facts:
Former Jets WR Plaxico Burress says there is a reason why the Jets didn't throw many vertical passes last year. Sanchez was battling an unknown shoulder injury. "He definitely has enough arm," Burress told WFAN-AM Monday via ESPN.com. "He was battling some injuries last year, shoulder-wise that a lot of people didn't know about ... different things like that. But I think he really turned a corner."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sanchez was never on the injury report for a shoulder injury. Then again, the Jets never revealed how hurt Brett Favre's shoulder really was at the end of the 2008 season, either. Sanchez was known to have a neck injury late in the season, but New York's inability to throw deep was a season-long problem for the Jets. ... Whatever the case, it's safe to say Sanchez will need all of his arm -- and probably more (as in a lot of wins) -- to keep the faithful from screaming for Tim Tebow to take over for him.
