Martin turned heads during the 2026 season, hauling in 42 receptions for 483 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. The 6-foot-1, 184-pound receiver averaged 48.3 receiving yards per game and earned another opportunity to showcase his skills at the NFL level.
Before joining the Aviators, Martin spent time with both the Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders. In four career NFL games, he has recorded three receptions for 72 yards and one touchdown.
A former Oklahoma State standout, Martin now joins a Lions receiving room led by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. While earning a roster spot will be a challenge, his recent production and professional experience could make him an intriguing player to watch when training camp opens next month.
