Pass Rush:

A one-trick pony as a pass-rusher whose go-to move is the bull-rush. Has adequate quickness but not enough to threaten consistently as a pass-rusher. Lacks a variety of moves and struggles to get off blocks. Pad level tends to rise after initial contact which limits his push. Can be dangerous when he does fire off the snap and keeps his pad level low. Has a tremendous motor and never stops hustling.

Grade: 2.0

Strength:

Looks like a bodybuilder. Has a short and maxed out frame but has a lot of muscle. Has great lower body strength and it allows him to generate a lot of power when playing with good leverage. Flashes some very strong hands but has to do a better job on his initial punch.

Grade: 3.5

Quickness:

Has an adequate get-off and can be quite quick when he times the snap count. However, will never be an explosive guy who can beat your right off the snap. Tight hipped and doesn’t offer much quickness or agility when rushing the passer.

Grade: 2.5

Point of Attack:

Was routinely double-teamed at Michigan. More content with taking up blockers as opposed to splitting them. Not sure if it’s the scheme or him being limited in his ability to split double teams. Has good strength to anchor. Can be dangerous when matched up 1 on 1. Shows the ability to shed blocks using his strength inside. Can occasionally knife into the back-field and disrupt plays but relies more on strength than quickness. Does a good job of locating the ball and is great in pursuit. Will get too high at times and can be sealed off but has great balance and strength so he’ll never be on the ground much.

Grade: 3.5

Tackling:

A good tackler who prefers to drag runners to the ground using his strength most of the time. Very active inside and will chase plays down from the backside. Gives good effort and will make stops down the field.

Grade: 3.0

Intangibles:

A 4 year starter who has played numerous positions while at UM. Is very versatile. Can play 3-technique, 5-technqiue and will get looks as a nose tackle. A hard worker who always gives great effort on the field. Jacked and shows a lot of dedication in the weight room. A team leader. Performed very well in Senior Bowl practices. Underwent shoulder surgery as a freshman and played through an ankle sprain for most of the 2010 season.

Grade: 4.0

Outlook:

Mike Martin may not be the biggest or the best athlete but he is a football player. He’s got great intangibles and is a guy you want on your team. He’s very versatile having played in both 4 and 3 man fronts at Michigan. He can earn a spot in the rotation as a rookie and has the potential to be a starter eventually. Not much of a pass-rusher as he gets most of his pressures and sacks from hustle plays. However, is great against the run. Dangerous 1 on 1 but can also occupy blockers depending on the scheme.
