PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Martinez is a physical, downhill runner with excellent contact balance, vision, and power. His compact, dense frame allows him to finish through contact, and he has surprising lateral agility for his size. While he lacks elite top-end speed, he makes up for it with tackle-breaking ability and patience. Best suited for a power/gap-heavy rushing scheme, but can be effective in inside-zone concepts as well. With improved pass protection, he has the potential to become a lead back in a power-oriented rushing attack.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
