After a decent rookie season, Martin's productively was nearly non-existent. In 2015, he played five games, and then did not appear at all in eight straight games before being placed on injured reserve at the end of the season.

Coming out of college at Michigan, Martin was a highly athletic, but undersized defensive tackle. He put up extraordinarily impressive numbers at the 2012 NFL Combine:

Martin's signing could be an indication of the type of quick, athletic defensive linemen the Eagles will begin targeting to play in Jim Schwartz's defense.
