At his pro day he ran a 4.53 forty yard dash.

I agree. He seems to be well spoken in interviews, too, which would lead me to believe he is relatively intelligent. I hope that he keeps impressing and working hard. I he is really 6'2" 250 like ESPN and NFL list him, he isn't too far outside of the average size that other comparable players are at that position. Demarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Vonn Miller, and Aldon Smith all reside in the 250-265 pound range at their playing weight.

His combine and pro-day measurements are 6-1 (6'-3/4"), 237 lbs but extremely fast.

03/16/13 - 2013 Nebraska Pro Day: Eric Martin, DE (6-1, 237 pounds) - Martin posted a best time of 4.53 in the 40, went 3.97 in the short shuffle and 6.63 in the cone drill. He’s a possible sixth or seventh-round selection for an NFL team looking to the late rounds for some extra defensive help. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com

Dang...I must have missed that one. ESPN.com and NFL.com have him listed at 6'2" 250 lbs on his player profile, but I'm sure his pro day measurements are more accurate. Oh well....here's to hoping he can bulk up. lol

Re: Eric Martin may be the guy.

Didn't colston run 4.58 at 220lb's?

for a guy at martins size to run that 40 is impressive, I'm hearing good things about him from camp also

Re: Eric Martin may be the guy.

He made more plays in those highlights than the whole Saints defense did in 2012.
