TRENDING: The Lions’ defensive tackle is looking forward to a big season due to…
Brodric Martin was seldom used in the Lions’ first campaign, but he only needs to turn to a fellow player to hope for a breakthrough in his second year.
Despite playing little in the Lions’ inaugural season, Brodric Martin just needs to look to a teammate in order to have hope for a breakthrough in his sophomore year.
It was therefore not shocking that Martin, who played a total of 28 defensive snaps in his first season, was ultimately a healthy scratch for all but three games. In an ideal world, a top-100 pick would have yielded more in his first season, but the Lions had no intention of pressing him into duty.
Next season, Martin should play a bigger part and have more time to practise in training camp and the winter. In an interview with the Detroit Lions podcast prior to his rookie season, Martin said he still needed to improve his overall play strength and pad level. After weighing in at 330 pounds as a rookie, improving one’s physical condition will undoubtedly be discussed this offseason.
Martin has his eye on that larger position already.
Recently, Tim Twentyman of Lions.com spoke with Martin. He brought up Alim McNeill, who made headlines this season for his efforts to get in better shape before his third season, and how that paid off with a standout performance.
Martin praised McNeill’s work during the previous offseason, saying, “It’s a big transformation he made.” By the time he entered Year 3, he had undergone a significant change. undoubtedly improved him as a player. Thus, it’s something I will absolutely focus on and attempt to do.”
Martin quickly stated what his top priority is during his upcoming second season.
Each week. each week.” Martin stated that he wants to contribute more to the defence in the upcoming campaign. “Be an impact player.”
