Damien Martinez NFL Combine and Draft Profile

Martinez is one of the more underrated players in this entire draft and could find himself climbing up the position rankings as we get closer to the 2025 NFL Draft. He has all the makings of a potential work-horse power back on the next level. It's far too early to predict where he might end up landing, however, he feels like he'd be the perfect fit to replace Najee Harris as the bell-cow bruiser for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he may lack some of the upside of a potential home run hitting back, he has a high floor and has given us no reason to believe he will be a bust. His frame and skill set are built for the NFL.
