Damien Martinez’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Damien Martinez first showed up on the 2025 NFL Draft radar when he emerged as a consistent 1,000-yard runner at Oregon State in his first two seasons. In year three, he joined Cam Ward in Miami, cracking 1,000 yards while averaging a career-best 6.3 yards per carry.
Martinez’s resume as a receiving threat is still woefully barren, but he’s truly one of the most complete volume running backs in the entire 2025 NFL Draft class. At 6’0″, 217 pounds, he assuredly looks the part, and he checks almost every box. Martinez is explosive and uber-physical rolling downhill, and yet, there’s a compelling finesse and calculation to his game. He’s a smooth footwork operator with spatial instincts, great diagnostic vision, and the fluidity to set up cuts just as well as crushing hits.
