Expert Analysis
Hunter Tierney | Prep Redzone Scout
Martinez is one of those safeties you trust because the technique is clean — his footwork in the backpedal is sharp enough that he can stay patient longer than most, and that patience is what keeps him from opening up early or losing leverage when routes open up. His ability to attack the receiver’s hands at the catch point was backed up by the production: three interceptions and 12 pass breakups are exactly what you get from a DB who plays through the hands instead of just trying to blow someone up. He’s also a steady open-field tackler, which matters when offenses try to turn quick throws into cheap yards, and it’s why he feels like a complete safety rather than a specialist. If he brings a little more consistent physical edge when he’s walked up in press looks — because he’s clearly capable of it elsewhere — that could take his game to a whole other level.
