Scouting Report on Chris Martin
How we scouted: Film footage, In-person visits, Camp settingby Barry Every - 08/13/2009- Speed
- Size
- Strength
- Agility
- Lateral Pursuit
On the Hoof: Every time you see Martin he is bigger and more muscular. He is already the size of Julius Peppers back when he was a junior in college.
Needs Improvement: Has played his whole varsity career as a linebacker and will now have to learn to play with his hand on the ground.
Most Impressive: To this point, he has been sensational on special teams for a big guy running down field looking to take someone's head off. But his growth potential combined with athleticism is almost off the charts.
Conclusion: It's possible that he will end up a 6-5, 280-pound strongside defensive end with enough speed to catch any quarterback from the backside. Don't be surprised if he has an impact as a true freshman.
