Like I've mentioned before, a lot of teams are looking at Martin from the 5th to 7th round of the NFL Draft as a 3-4 LB or 4-3 DE. Randy King has a nice piece on him this morning. Here is an exerpt:
"I don't know how much it hurts him because you have teams like the [Indianapolis] Colts who are very interested in Orion and have sorta used that smaller defensive end, a kind of a one-gap guy who can get upfield and get after the quarterback," said Drew Lewis, an agent for RAA Goal Line, a Bay Harbor, Fla., firm that's representing Martin.
"We've heard from a few teams like that, and I know that the [Miami] Dolphins have talked to him about playing linebacker as well in the 3-4 defense. We asked Orion to stay around 260 pounds because ... what we want to do is have them mold him in what they want him to be. The [San Francisco] 49ers love him at outside linebacker, the [Atlanta] Falcons like him a lot at defensive end, and the [Jacksonville] Jaguars like him at outside linebacker."
