Packers 2020 free agency preview: Blake Martinez

Selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Blake Martinez has been a solid contributor in the middle of the Packers defense under both Mike Pettine and Dom Capers.

Martinez regularly finishes near the league-lead in tackles. In 2017, he was tied for first place. In four seasons with the Packers, Martinez has made 512 tackles, 10 sacks, three interceptions and 17 pass defenses.

Overall, Martinez is a solid player who helps get the defense in the right position, and he occasionally contributes with big plays. You can do far worse than Martinez as a starter at inside linebacker.
