Damien Martinez Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Seattle Seahawks selected Miami RB Damien Martinez with the 223rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 18 years old, he took over the Oregon State backfield and finished top-five in the country in rush yards by a freshman (982). Martinez spent one more season at OSU and racked up a 1,000-yard season. He repeated the same feat in 2024, this time at the University of Miami alongside QB Cam Ward. At 217 pounds, Martinez brings excellent power and short-area explosiveness. He adds a clean injury history, despite a bruising play style. Just note that his receiving production is unexciting, with 32 catches across three seasons. At the NFL Combine, he showed adequate speed (4.51 forty) and a strong lower half with an 82nd percentile broad jump.
