#1 RATED

Ingle Martin – Furman University 

Ht:     6’2”

Wt:     220

Complete QB PPI Rating:         73.78

What Complete QB Likes About Him: Very strong arm – good velocity on ball/  Athletically gifted – skilled punter and placekicker, as well/  Transferred from University of Florida prior to 2004 season/  Led the Paladins to the I-AA National Semifinals (a 29-23 loss)/  Ability to throw deep ball with accuracy and proper trajectory/  Impressive overall performance at Scouting Combine, especially with footwork/  Arm slot/release are mostly sound and consistent/  Good speed (4.68 40 yd. dash at Combine).

What Complete QB Does Not Like: There are times when Martin’s delayed decision-making resulted in turnovers (20 TD-13 INT in 2005)/  Will need to focus on maintaining composure in pocket at NFL level – Martin has demonstrated a tendency to break pocket prematurely. 

What Might Happen: Martin will likely be drafted, especially given his impressive Combine performance, but it will be on Day 2.  Because he appeared to react slowly to reads at times on the I-AA level, Martin will need to land with an NFL team that does not need him to step on the field anytime soon.
