Since the New York Jets see no value in bringing in a mentor for the strugglingáMark Sanchez, it looks like former New YorkáGiant great Phil Simms sees potential in thisáUSC standout. The former Super Bowl MVP, and a first round draft pick himself in 1979, sees plenty of upside in the rookie and that's a good thing for a player in an organization as dysfunctional as the New York Jets. Simms is ...
