Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Martin in the first round with the 31st overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, making him the first player from Boise State University to be drafted by the Buccaneers.[42] He was the second running back to be selected that year.[43] On June 4, 2012, Martin signed a five-year contract, worth $6.787 million with the team. After a successful 2012 preseason with the Buccaneers, where he rushed for 97 yards on 27 carries to go with two rushing touchdowns, Martin was officially named as the team's starting running back entering the 2012 regular season by coach Greg Schiano.[44]
2012 season: Rookie year
On September 9, Martin had 95 rushing yards and 23 receiving yards in his NFL debut in the 16–10 victory over the Carolina Panthers.[45] In the next game, a 41–34 loss to the New York Giants, he scored his first professional touchdown.[46] On October 25, he rushed for 135 yards and one touchdown and caught three passes for 79 yards and one touchdown in a 36–17 win against the Minnesota Vikings.[47] One week later, he rushed for 251 yards and tied the NFL record for rushing touchdowns in a half with four in a 42–32 road win against the Oakland Raiders.[48] In the game, Martin became the first player in NFL history to score touchdown runs of 70-plus, 45-plus, and 65-plus yards in a game, and is the second player in league history (along with Mike Anderson) to run for 250+ yards and four touchdowns in a game (coincidentally, they both ran for exactly 251 yards and were both in their rookie seasons). Martin broke the franchise records for rushing yardage and touchdowns in a game.[49] He scored 24 total points in the game, which was the most by any player in a single game in the 2012 season.[50] On November 18, against the Carolina Panthers, he had 138 rushing yards in the 27–21 victory.[51] On December 9, he had 128 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the 23–21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.[52] In the regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons, he had 142 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the 22–17 victory.[53]
At the end of the 2012 NFL regular season, Martin finished with over 1,450 yards rushing and nearly 500 yards receiving.[54] His 1,926 yards from scrimmage in a single season ranks him second in Buccaneers' history behind James Wilder Sr. (2,229 yards from scrimmage). His 1,454 rushing yards broke the Buccaneers' single-season rookie rushing record that was previously held by Cadillac Williams (1,178 rushing yards).[55] On January 4, 2013, Martin was announced as one of five finalists for the 2012 NFL rookie of the year award while earning a trip to the 2013 Pro Bowl as first alternate.[56]
2013 season
Martin started his second professional season with 65 rushing yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets.[57] On September 15, in a game against the New Orleans Saints, he rushed for 144 yards on 29 carries.[58] He suffered a shoulder injury against the Atlanta Falcons on October 20, 2013. He was placed on the season-ending injured reserve on November 8, 2013 because of a torn labrum.[59] He finished the 2013 season with 456 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, 12 receptions, and 66 receiving yards.[60]
2014 season
Martin returned from his injury in time for the season opener against the Carolina Panthers.[61] On September 28, he scored his first touchdown of the season in a 27–24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.[62] In the season finale against the New Orleans Saints, he had a season-high 108 rushing yards.[63] Overall, he finished the 2014 season with 494 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, 13 receptions, and 64 receiving yards.[64]
2015 season
Before the season, the Buccaneers declined picking up the fifth-year option of Martin's rookie contract, which would have allowed him to become a free agent after the season.[65] On October 4, against the Carolina Panthers, he had 106 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.[66] One week later, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he had 123 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, three receptions, 35 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown.[67] He followed that up with 136 rushing yards against the Washington Redskins.[68] In Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, he ran for 235 yards on 27 carries, averaging 8.7 yards-per-attempt.[69] He finished the 2015 season with 1,402 rushing yards, six rushing touchdowns, 33 receptions, 271 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown.[70] Following Martin's resurgent season he was selected for the 2016 Pro Bowl, the second of his career, and became the first Buccaneers running back to be named a First-team All-Pro. He was also ranked 33rd on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016.[71]
2016 season
On March 9, 2016, Martin signed a five-year, $35.75 million contract extension, keeping him with the Buccaneers through the 2020 season.[72]
Following his resurgent season in 2015, Martin regressed in the 2016 season. He finished with 421 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns, 14 receptions, and 134 receiving yards.[73] On December 28, 2016, he was suspended four games for violation of the NFL substance abuse policy. Martin's suspension carried into the 2017 season. He announced that he intended to enter a treatment facility after testing positive for Adderall.[74] As a result, he would not receive $15 million in guaranteed money.[75]
2017 season
In 2017, Martin played in 11 games with six starts, rushing for a career-low 406 yards with three touchdowns.[76]
On February 20, 2018, Martin was released by the Buccaneers after six seasons.[77]
Oakland Raiders
2018 season
On March 15, 2018, Martin signed a one-year contract with the Oakland Raiders.[78][79] After starting running back Marshawn Lynch was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury, Martin would take his place as a starter for the remainder of the season.[80] He had his best performance of the season in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos with 107 rushing yards and a touchdown.[81] In the regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs, he had another 100-yard performance to close out the season.[82] Overall, in the 2018 season, he finished with 723 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.[83]
2019 season
On May 1, 2019, Martin re-signed with the Raiders, after Isaiah Crowell suffered a season-ending injury.[84] Martin was placed on injured reserve on August 25.[85] He was released from injured reserve with an injury settlement on September 3.[86]
