Scouting Report: Strengths
- In the run game, he’s aggressive coming downhill and a sure tackler.
- Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
- Extremely aggressive to come up and put his body in traffic to make tackles.
- He’s excellent in run support, a physical hitter who could also get a look at safety
- Can track the ball downfield and gets his head around when playing in a trail position, and Martin shows excellent ball skills when breaking on a route. He’s a plus tackler in run support as well.
- Transitions well from coverage to close on the ball. Strong hands, quick reactions for the interceptions.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has a high backpedal and loses a step in transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL.
- Willing but not threatening tackler. Doesn't have the quick-twitch reaction when Martin gears down to rebuild to top speed. More instinctive than explosive.
- Has poor recognition skills when facing the action in zone coverage.
