Opening day countdowns are great. So are player profiles. Here at Musket Fire, we decided to combine them and create a Week 1 countdown-oriented, jersey number-dictated player profile series. Yesterday we looked at No. 54 Dont’a Hightower, and the day before that it was No. 55 Jonathan Freeny. Because today marks 53 days until the New England Patriots open 2015, we are profiling No. 53, linebacker No. 53 Eric Martin.
Signed to the Patriots’ practice squad on December 29th after playing 13 games for the Cleveland Browns earlier in the regular season, Martin is a member of Paradigm Sports Management.
