Very good short accuracy, good medium, and deep. Martin has good progression speed and good pocket presence. Once the pocket collapses, he uses his very good scramble ability to get the first down. Very good throw on the run with good off-platform throwing. Martin is a good runner and not afraid to put his shoulder down to gain more yards. I’m excited to see Martin take the next step in his development this off-season.
