Detroit Lions' Sam Martin 'will be rooting for' hometown Peachtree City

Long before Sam Martin was one of the best punters in the NFL, he was a little league baseball player in Peachtree City, Ga.

And while Martin's baseball team never came close to reaching the Little League World Series, he said Tuesday he's rooting for this year's representative to win it all.

“It’s pretty neat," Martin said. "I’m going to be rooting for them. It’d be pretty sweet if they won."
