- Physically, Martinez is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
- Generally accurate on intermediate and short throws; flashes anticipation and placement on intermediate outs and the ability to lead receivers on deeper throws.
- Ball placement is a strength. Martinez has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Possesses a strong right arm and is capable of making every NFL throw easily.

- Martinez plays with a confident demeanor and has the athleticism to move out of the pocket and create plays out of structure.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses

- He tends to hold the ball loosely and away from his body, putting him at risk for strip sacks.
- Martinez gets sloppy with his mechanics on the move, losing accuracy as he relies too much on his arm.
