Doug Martin sat on a couch outside the Turtle Bay Resort in Kahuku, Hawaii, his feet up on a table, looking a bit worn down. A two-hour shuttle-bus ride through dense one-lane traffic will do that to you. Still, Martin was lounging in paradise, so things could be a lot worse.
Plus, that long ride was a fitting parallel for his NFL journey so far. Before the trip, he was at the 2016 Pro Bowl Draft at the Wheeler Army Airfield, sitting among 70 or so of the best players in the NFL and waiting to see if he would end up on Team Rice or Team Irvin.
