“Mature for his age” doesn’t begin to describe Marcus Martin.
A year ago, the San Francisco 49ers rookie offensive lineman was the youngest player in the NFL.
Born on Nov. 29, 1993, Martin made his first career start (Week 9 against the St. Louis Rams) at just 20 years old.
That came a few years after he started as a freshman at Southern California at 17 years old.
But when talking about a player who has always been ahead of the curve, it’s easy to forget that he is still growing. And that’s the case for Martin, who feels like he hasn’t yet stratched the surface of his potential.
