GREEN BAY — Jordan Love isn’t the only quarterback in the Green Bay Packers’ 2020 draft class. He’s just the only one still playing the position.
Kamal Martin might not have made it to the NFL by taking the same route Love did, slinging the ball all over the field and directing a non-Power Five offense. But that’s exactly what he was set to do at Eastern Michigan after being recruited as a quarterback out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area out of high school.
It wasn’t until his hometown University of Minnesota came calling — with a scholarship offer to play linebacker — that Martin traded his tossing for tackling.
