Negatives: More of a one-speed ballcarrier who can not beat opponents to daylight. Lacks the speed to turn the corner.

Analysis: Martin is an instinctive player with a well-rounded game and a ball handler that beats opponents in a variety of ways. He does the little things well, which will help him get drafted much earlier than most expect and Martin should see significant playing action as a rookie in the NFL.
