Yeah, he injured his shoulder at the end of the preseason and eventually ended up on IR in September 2011 when it wasn't  healing. If I am not mistaken, he would be battling David Butler or Takeo Spikes for an ILB spot if he stays healthy.

My obsession with Michigan football is such that I left the kitchen and ran into the living room to watch Titan highlights, for the sole purpose of seeing a glimpse of Martin.

I watched te Eagles game for longer than I should have for a similar reason, but sadly saw no appearance by Brandon Graham.  However it appears he did get in and make a tackle.  Knee surgery still having some effect, apparently.

So far he's outproduced the 6 DTs taken in the draft ahead of him. Michael Brockers has yet to play due to an injury, though. Only the Eagles Fletcher Cox comes close with 7 total tackles, and 1 sack. Martin was a steal in the 3rd round.

Re: Mike Martin

To Whom it May Concern:

I'm sorry but we are NOT buying this obvious fabrication about a sack or some other such nonsense from this Martin character.  We, who are paid well to make these decisions, spent countless hours looking at and then subsequently ignoring game film so that we could make an intellegent and well-thought out recommendation on Mr Martin based on the one variable we know means everything to future NFL success.  And if the player doesnt have it then he just isnt going to make it - actual performance be damned.  And unfortunately Mr. Martin does NOT have it so no way could this "sack" have actually occured.

Arm length.  

NIce try anyways.  Next thing you know you crazy jokers are going to try and sell a 6th round draft pick QB who couldnt even keep his back-up on the bench in college as a future HOF member!
