CB Darrelle Revis and KR Joe McKnight are the only Jets leading their respective positions in the annual Pro Bowl fan voting, which concludes Dec. 19. All told, the Jets have only six players currently ranked in the top five at their positions, including -- and this may surprise you -- special teamer Nick Bellore.
You'll notice that QB Mark Sanchez isn't in the top five. The leading vote getters at quarterback are Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Tim Tebow, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andy Dalton.
Here are the Jets' top vote getters by position (as of Wednesday). Keep in mind that players and coaches also vote for the final roster.
FB John Conner (5th place -- 78,291 votes)
OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson (4th place -- 179,544)
C Nick Mangold (2nd place -- 266,714)
CB Darrelle Revis (1st place -- 467,991)
KR Joe McKnight (1st place -- 117,671)
ST Nick Bellore (5th place -- 48,291)

Sanchez sounds like he's really bought into Mornhinweg's system: "I just really feel like this coaching staff will get the best out of me."

I'm wondering if Jay Z makes it to Cortland this summer for training camp. I'm sure he'd be a big hit at Doug's Fish Fry. #Jets

Some perspective required: #Jets are learning new offensive system, WR corps depleted, defense always ahead of offense this early.

Early thought on #Jets QB comp: Ugh. Sanchez 6-for-11, 3 INTs, 1 sack. (1 INT may have been a sack.) Geno Smith 3-for-10, 1 INT, 1 sack
