Scouting Report: Strengths
- As a pass rusher, Martin shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge.
- Martin has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
- His hand use is excellent; he’s strong in the upper body and consistently swats away blockers.
- A savvy, versatile and instinctive edge rusher who did a little bit of everything, he was especially effective getting to the quarterback.
- His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and he displays a very good motor.
- He's not an elite pass rusher and projects as a left end in a 4-3 defense. If he layers on more muscle, he might fit in the 3-4. Size, strength and versatility should push him into the top 75 picks.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks overpowering strength and can stick to blocks. Lacks explosive speed to bend and flatten off the corner with stiff hips and ankles. Not flexible or fluid.
- Martin lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. He lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- He struggles to shed blockers and doesn’t show ideal lateral movement skills. Martin also needs to make better use of his length and hands in the pass rush.
