Kamal Martin is used to figuring it out on the fly. At Burnsville High outside Minneapolis, Martin played safety and quarterback, a raw, wiry strong player, the kind of athlete high school programs put under center because they’re the most gifted guys on the field, not because they’re on track to be Patrick Mahomes. That was Martin, a three-star recruit who made all-state in Minnesota mostly thanks to his safety play. Still, his quarterback background served him well, first as a prep star and then at the University of Minnesota. That spatial awareness, intelligence, and read-and-react ability are already evident just one game into his pro career in Green Bay.
