per Joe:
“We have a roommate thing where we hold each other accountable for all our actions, whether it’s homework, Bible study, practice, everything,” Martin said. “So if you’re in our room, you can’t slip up.”
The 6-3, 235-pound Martin has taken a crash course at linebacker the past two seasons, still a former quarterback learning defensive nuances. Primarily an outside linebacker, he got a chance to play inside when Barber got injured during spring practice.
“[Martin’s] a completely different player this year,” Fleck said. “We’ve taught him multiple positions, and he’s been able to master two different positions. Last year, I think his head was spinning a little bit, like most of our football team, and Kamal is playing so much faster.”
It’s easy to spot Martin at practice, sprinting all over the field, bouncing with energy between plays and yelling instructions, especially for the younger linebackers.
“The sky’s the limit for him,” Coughlin said. “I think he’s going to have a really, really big year.”
