First in tackles, second in snaps for Packers linebacker Blake Martinez

But no one will ever be able to take one thing away from him in 2017: the second-year linebacker led the NFL in tackles.

It was his position coach, Scott McCurley, who informed him of the news after all the Week 17 games came to a close.
