Rookie QB Mark Sanchez has impressed in his NFL debut, so much so that he will start the next Jets’ preseason game at Baltimore.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has announced that Sanchez would start against the Ravens on August 24. Ryan had previously determined that Kellen Clemens would start the preseason opener against St. Louis and the two would flip-flop against Baltimore.

Sanchez came into the 23-20 loss with 28 seconds left in the first quarter, and threw a 48-yard pass to David Clowney on his opening play. He completed three of four passes for 88 yards in one series.

Clemens, entering his fourth season, was 4 of 4 for 24 yards and was sacked once -- and lost a fumble -- in two series.
