Mark Sanchez’s NFL stock is soaring without him having to lift a finger.
With today’s announcement that Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford is staying at Oklahoma for another season, the USC junior might be the second-highest-rated quarterback in April’s NFL draft if he makes himself available.
Only Georgia’s Matthew Stafford is rated higher by most experts.
The Heisman finalists from last season -- all quarterbacks -- are staying in college football: Bradford, Tim Tebow of Florida and Colt McCoy of Texas.
The deadline to declare for the draft is Thursday.
