HOUSTON – Lions punter Sam Martin was at this year’s Pro Bowl in Orlando, just not as a participant.
He and long snapper Don Muhlbach accepted an invitation from Lions kicker Matt Prater, who was selected to play in the game as an alternate, to come down and join him in the festivities.
Next season, it’s a goal of Martin’s to get on the field and be considered the best punter in the NFC, if not the NFL.
“That’s the goal for every season,” said Martin, who was at the Super Bowl Wednesday promoting shortpar4.
