Hear me out here. I know that we all believe strongly in Steven Ridley. But we've also had similar visions about guys like Maroney right? Doug Martin is a baller. He's a power back who also has elusiveness and good speed for his size. On top of that he has good hands coming out of the backfield and can be a multi-dimensional threat at RB. Martin reminds me of Maurice Drew Jones with his powerful, low to the ground build.
If the Pats were able to grind out first downs on the ground with 3.5 minutes to go in the Superbowl wouldn't they be sporting shiny new rings right now? Martin is a guy who could help shift the paradigm in New England. Instead of having to pass on 3rd and short to get the 1st. Hand it off to the powerful Martin and have your OL go against their DL and force your way to victory! The Pats won Superbowl titles with power backs like Antwain Smith and Corey Dillon taking over in the 4th quarter of games. Could drafting an impact power RB like Martin bring back those glory days? Just some food for thought.
