Damien Martinez

21-Year-Old Running BackRB
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Discussed as a potential mid-round pick throughout winter and spring, Martinez instead fell to the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft before the Seahawks took him at No. 223 overall. It's a poor landing spot to earn rookie-year playing time, as Martinez is highly unlikely to eclipse Kenneth Walker or Zach Charbonnet on the depth chart and faces a challenge to even unseat Kenny McIntosh from the No. 3 role. That said, Martinez has above-average speed (4.51 40) for a big back (6-foot, 217), and his college production was highly encouraging -- three consecutive seasons with at least 161 carries, 982 rushing yards and 6.1 YPC for Oregon State and then Miami. He's also just 21, making him an interesting developmental prospect for 2026 and beyond despite being a seventh-round pick. Read Past Outlooks

The Packers signed Martinez to a reserve/future contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Martinez joined Green Bay's practice squad late last December and is now set to remain with the team for the start of the offseason. The 21-year-old was selected in the seventh round of last year's draft by Seattle before being waived in August, and he'll look to earn a spot on the Packers' final roster for the 2026 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have role as rookie
RBSeattle Seahawks
April 27, 2025
Martinez, who was selected by the Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, could have a meaningful role in Seattle's backfield as a rookie, Mel Kiper of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martinez was projected as an early Day 3 pick but ended up sliding to the seventh round before being snapped up by the Seahawks. The Miami running back averaged 4.5 yards after contact per carry in 2024, which ranked fourth in the FBS, and Kiper believes that could help Martinez establish a role for himself behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Martinez logged 159 carries for 1,002 yards and 10 touchdowns in 13 games during his final season with the Hurricanes.
