Buccaneers: Doug Martin is a “stronger person” after leving rehab

We have talked at length about the Buccaneers running back situation. As good as the passing offense is setting up to be, Dirk Koetter wants to be a run-first team. The running game has to be better than it was last year. When the leading rusher hasn’t reached 600 yards, the attack simply isn’t good enough.

Doug Martin has also been a popular topic of conversation this off-season. We all know why. He didn’t perform well last year, fell to injury (again), and ended the year with a drug suspension. Martin will miss the first three games of the 2017 season due to said suspension.
