He should be a do-all playmaker able to wreck offenses from multiple positions and disguise the look of his defense, the way the best hybrid safeties in the NFL do every week. Unfortunately, Quan Martin isn't coming close to living up to the hype for the Washington Commanders, and his struggles are proving costly in more than one key area.
Martin's a former second-round pick who can play deep safety, in the slot, or even line up on the boundary as a cornerback. Add in some potential to be a force in the box, and the defensive back ought to be the unicorn-type the Commanders need to disguise coverage and pressure.
