One of NFL's best, Sam Martin looks at punts 'like golf clubs in the bag'

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- So often, it might look some similar coming off the foot of Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin. But in reality, many of the punts are much, much different.

That's the goal of Martin, one of the NFL's top punters. He has approximately a dozen different punts he can pull out at any time, from sky punts to directional punts to a punt he used Sunday against the New York Giants, a stinger that he kicks on the nose of the ball, is almost impossible to catch and rolls with topspin.
