PLAYERS: Mark Sanchez,  Mark Sanchez
TEAMS: USC Trojans

Yardbarker sat down with Mark Sanchez, the quarterback draft prospect out of USC, to talk about his upcoming pro career, his choice to hire his brother as his agent, and how he almost cut those million-dollar fingers off working as a sous-chef in college.



This interview was filmed during Super Bowl week in Tampa at the G Studio. Thanks to Gatorade for hooking us up -- hope they enjoyed my corny plugs!

And best of luck to Mark this weekend... stay tuned to Yardbarker's Draft page for full coverage live from New York.
