McKnight

The 25-year-old was a pal of Mark Sanchez as the Jets’ quarterback was growing up. A 2011 seventh-rounder, McKnight will struggle to make the team.

The seventh-rounder was known more for being Mark Sanchez’s buddy than a legitimate prospect. It’s surprising that he remained on the practice squad for two months. The ACL tear will likely kill whatever scant chances he would have to make the roster next summer.

McKnight is most famous for being Mark Sanchez’s friend. A seventh-round pick last season, he was waived at final cuts. A third-year undrafted free agent, Ganaway has never appeared in a preseason game.

McKnight is Mark Sanchez’s boy from high school; the Jets’ quarterback threw passes in McKnight’s Pro Day pass-catching drills. A slot receiver prospect, McKnight did catch 219 passes in his career and ran 4.49, 4.58 before the draft. We suppose Sanchez was “banging the table” for the Jets to draft his pal.

It was well known that the Jets drafted McKnight only because he’s Mark Sanchez’s best buddy. The 227th overall pick, caught one pass in the preseason -- good for a 14-yard score in the finale. He might get a practice squad look.
