A Hit With Kamal Martin Could Be Huge for Packers

By all accounts, Packers fifth round draft pick Kamal Martin (out of Minnesota) has had one heck of a training camp.

Before I go any further, it's important to add the disclaimers that yes, this is only training camp, there have been no exhibition games and the kid is a rookie who was selected in the fifth round, so expectations have to be relatively low.

But if Martin is able to translate his widely reported success from training camp into the regular season, it could be a massive difference maker for the Packers this season. It would represent the solidification of a position that has been a weak spot on the team for years, as the Packers would finally have two quality starters in Martin and newcomer Christian Kirksey, also reported to be having a solid camp.
