Jonathan Martin was long thought to have little passion for the game of football, and he confirmed those suspicions with a since-deleted message on Twitter Sunday night.
Martin retired from the NFL last month after suffering a back injury. Known best for his role as the victim to Richie Incognito’s bullying during his time with the Miami Dolphins, Martin expressed “nothing but love” for his former San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers teammates while completely ignoring the Dolphins.
Nothin but love for my Panthers & 49ers teammates

Martin also wrote he’d miss the game of football and that he is proud to have played in the league, even though he didn’t play as long as he wanted to play.
