Martin was the offensive lineman that was in the middle of the Dolphins bullying scandal in 2013, which involved Martin receiving verbal abuse from Richie Incognito and others.
Martin started 32 of the 38 games that he played in during his NFL career for the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins.
