Doug Martin may be ready to bounce back after two down seasons

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Doug Martin in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft to be their lead back, the guy who could carry an offense as much as any running back can. And in his first season he was exactly that, as he put up nearly 2,000 yards from scrimmage even after a slow start to the year.

That Doug Martin has been nowhere in sight over the past two years. The Muscle Hamster put up fewer than 500 rushing yards in each of his past two seasons, which were hampered by injuries.
