Why hasn't Martinez declared? [Martinez Has Declared for NFL Draft]

[DTP]

He is James Conner 2.0

Once you see it, you can't unsee it

Quicker than Conner IMO. But good comp.

 

[bandhammer]

Good comparison . Not as physical as beast mode but he’s physical af. Has light feet and patience for his size plus he’s a taller back. All like Bell.

Another Oregon State running back, Steven Jackson maybe.

I am fairly confident we are going to look back at this team in 3-5 years in disbelief as to how we lost 3 out of the last 4 games and implode.

So many “what ifs.”

Good Luck in the NFL!

3-5 years from now? I’m in disbelief right now lol

Bring Ajay Back

totally agree with that sentiment!

I'm old enough to remember earlier this season when a lot of folks on here were **** talking DM and saying he was overrated.........good times.

RB room is Fletcher Lyle Pringle

Geez

Martinez was an old school back at Miami in the mold of Stewart and Bennett, but maybe a bit faster

I get that these guys are paid professionals and it has become more about “me” than team, but whatever happened to enjoying the total college experience? What happened to student/athletes? Sad

Pop-Tarts were part of my total college experience

Pudgy D-Mart for (roughly) first month of the season was slower than molasses.

The last 2/3 of the season once he dropped those pounds and got in D1 running back shape, he was a beast.

One of our best three players — and about right there with X for No. 2

He clearly did NOT do well in fall camp whether it was the heat or reps. Something was off. Nice bowl game with a pay day on the line.

Not sure if you are kidding, but the fact that they are paid professional athletes has almost certainly reduced the number of players leaving early.

I was referring mostly to the portal. I enjoyed my time at the U. It was a fabulous experience for me. You’re right they might not be leaving early but why leave Miami for anywhere else? Happy new year

This statement was outdated 10 years ago yet alone today with NIL and free agency.

Just an old guy alum and someone who goes way back before our first natty and an AC dorm.

Gotcha - I was thinking you were referring to leaving for the draft since the topic was about Martinez declaring for the draft.

Also, I hope you didn't take my post as an attack, it certainly wasn't meant that way - I am not always the best at picking up on sarcasm and the 'sad' at the end had me second guessing myself

Happy New Year from one alum to another

Shaun Alexander comes to mind

I think this was my favorite run of his this year ...

Homeboy got rocked!
I bet his head was ringing the rest of the game.

That lack of running game is going to bite us in the *** at some point this season!

Bro, they just dug a gravesite for him in the middle of the field and left the body there.
