Eerie in many respects....even from Orange County, hot bed of crazy sports parents and U$C silver spoons:
For those who know Sanchez, news of his arrest was downright astonishing. Groomed since youth to be a quarterback by his father, Nick, a former high school quarterback and a constant presence at Trojans practices last season, and older brothers Nick and Brandon, both former college quarterbacks themselves, the Orange County native is friendly and articulate.
