Sam Martin hopes to work out with fellow punter Johnny Hekker

Sam Martin has developed into one of the best punters in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean he’s stopped trying to find ways to become even better.

Later this summer, he's hoping to work out with Los Angeles Rams punter and three-time Pro Bowler, Johnny Hekker.

“I’ve talked to Hekker a few times since I hung out with him at the Pro Bowl with Prater and I’ll probably be getting with him at some point,” Martin said earlier this week at the Taste of the Lions event at Ford Field.

Martin was a Pro Bowl alternate last season, while Hekker earned the nod for the NFC.
