I feel this guy has the makings of a solid player-his exceptional ST play will most likely allow him to make the team but I'm excited about him as a pass rush specialist....he will not be an every down backer obviously but this guy can get after the quarterback-18 TFL and 8.5 sacks and that was in his first year at DE....I believe he started out as 4-3 OLB. The thing I like about him is his mean streak-plays with lots of emotion and is a flat out thumper who will light you up!

reminds me of Dunbar with those hits, hope the coaches realize what they have this time

Other than that one big special teams hit Dunbarr made as a rookie he wasn't what I would call a hard hitter.

If anyone I would say the way Martin hits is more reminiscent of Vaughn Johnson.

if he makes the team, he is definitely going to have to go by a nickname for us old timers. I too thought this was going to be a where are they now thread.

His nickname in high school and college was "Caveman".

Said it when we we first nabbed him. I think Eric Martin will be this years camp beast. I think he's the best UDFA we signed. I like Chase Thomas a lot, but Eric Martin has a world more in upside potential. I remember watching Nebraska games last year, and he was by far, the best D player they fielded. He reminds me of Dumervil. The guys mean, nasty, and gets in opponents heads. I love his swag! He's a straight villain on the field. He's my favorite UDFA, and I think he's the best pure pass rusher we got from this years draft. Even better than our 6th RDer Rufus Johnson, in my opinion.

I saw the title of this thread and originally thought it was about old reliable #84.

Me too.
