Are the Martinez Brothers the Next Manning Brothers?

Both Drake and Taylor are crazy talented football players. Both will see action this weekend.

OCVarsity.com has a nice profile piece on Drake and Taylor Martinez, the football-playing brothers who could wind up becoming the next Peyton and Eli Manning, the way their talents seem to be taking them.

Drake, you might know, is Laguna Beach High's current star running back and safety, who, in last week's season-opener against Bolsa Grande, shattered an LBHS record by scoring five touchdowns ... in just the first half.

His brother Taylor Martinez quarterbacks the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Last week against Southern Miss, Taylor scored five touchdowns of his own.
