Get ready for some rookie hazing, Mark Sanchez.

Photos: He's been a member of the Jets organization for less than a month and Mark Sanchez is already making more headlines than Kellen Clemens ever did. Why? These spicy pics may have something to do with it.

With the New York Jets' faithful hoping that their first-round pick will one day turn into the second coming of Joe Namath, the former USC quarterback star has channeled his best "Broadway Joe" in the upcoming issue of GQ.

In the June issue of the monthly men's magazine, Sanchez is photographed alongside a scantily-clad bikini model in several shots that harken back to Namath's glory days as both Jets quarterback on the field and playboy off of it.

"GQ is all about the young, the good-looking, the quarterback who has the whole world in front of him," Brandon Steiner, CEO of Steiner Sports Marketing, told the New York Post. "Tom Brady's getting a little older. He's becoming the veteran. He's going to be doing some more insurance-type commercials pretty soon."

No word yet on what Sanchez's new teammates think about the spread.
