The Dallas Cowboys did not select Johnny Manziel with their 2014 first-round pick. Instead, they selected a player who has since become the most consistently high-performing player on their roster. For nine seasons, Zack Martin has been manhandling would-be defenders on the offensive line as the veteran guard has played at an elite level every year he’s been in the league. He’s earned All-Pro honors eight different seasons with the lone exception being the injury-shortened 2020 season when he missed six games with a calf injury.
From the onset, it’s been a great marriage between Martin and the Cowboys as he’s been everything they could’ve hoped for.
