CHICAGO—For a guy who recently purchased his first suit, Adrian Martinez looks comfortable enough. Approaching the platform where he was set to sit and field questions for an hour Thursday afternoon at Big Ten Media Days, the sophomore quarterback balked at the riser he was expected to climb, worried about the “real tight fit” of his Joseph A. Bank ensemble. He was planning to wear the navy suit again the next day, he explained, so it would be no good to split it on the way up to his media availability.
Seams remained intact, and Martinez had the look down.
