Scouting Report: Strengths
- Physically, Martinez is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
- Generally accurate on intermediate and short throws; flashes anticipation and placement on intermediate outs and the ability to lead receivers on deeper throws.
- Ball placement is a strength. Martinez has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Possesses a strong arm and is capable of making every NFL throw easily. Can drive the deep out to the sideline from the opposite hash and has no problem threading the needle between closing defenders. Easily zips to all areas of the field, demonstrating very good touch on underneath routes to running backs and receivers, as well as down the sideline on deep passes.
- He has enough arm strength to throw the deep out as well.
- Martinez plays with a confident demeanor and has the athleticism to move out of the pocket and create plays out of structure.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Martinez has a tendency to hold the ball too long, and Martinez will make panicked throws; good things don’t always follow when he’s forced to extend plays.
- He tends to hold the ball loosely and away from his body, putting him at risk for strip sacks.
- Martinez gets sloppy with his mechanics on the move, losing accuracy as he relies too much on his arm.
