The countdown continues as the NFL and NFL Network reveal the next series of players in their unveiling of the annual Top 100 list. The Dallas Cowboys have already seen two of their players make the list as LB Jaylon Smith checked in at No. 88 and offensive tackle Tyron Smith showed up at No. 76.
The next name is a bit of a surprise, not for inclusion but for being ranked where he was. Right guard Zack Martin, who many consider one of the league’s top one or two offensive linemen, checks in at No. 55.
not triggered at all. rather, I'm excited to see the 54 HOF'ers at the top of their game that are ahead of him! https://t.co/cEtvMtyrcM

Martin has been in the league for six seasons. Martin has been named to six All-Pro teams (four first, two second) and six Pro Bowls. The Notre Dame product has started every game each season but 2018 when he missed two games due to injury.
According to Pro Football Focus, he didn’t allow a single sack in 2019 and was called for just two penalties on the season. In 2020, he’ll continue to play next to right tackle La’el Collins and form one of the most dominant right sides in the league, but he will have a new player to his left as longtime teammate and friend Travis Frederick retired in the offseason.
