Martin was the Bucs’ second pick of the first round (Mark Barron), coming in at No. 31. The former Boise State star took the league by storm his rookie year, rushing for 1,454 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors. Unfortunately, Martin would surpass the 1,000-yard mark only one other time during his Bucs career, in 2015 when he rushed for 1,402 yards and six touchdowns. He again earned Pro Bowl honors, and was also named a First-Team All-Pro. Martin’s last season with the Bucs came in 2017 before he signed with the Oakland Raiders as a free agent. Martin’s 4,633 carer rushing yards with Tampa Bay ranks fourth all-time in franchise history behind James Wilder (5,957), Mike Alstott (5,088) and Warrick Dunn (4,986), respectively.
