Had more sacks than any other player in NCAA history!

Granted, he played in Division 2, but still . . .
Jared Allen came from AA ball. Idaho State University. I know this because I live in and grew up in the town it's from.

BALTIMORE — The Rams have made a roster move on the eve of their first practice with the Ravens, signing defensive end Marcus Martin.

A college free agent out of Division-II Slippery Rock, Martin initially signed with the Seahawks following the spring’s draft. Even though Martin recorded a record-setting 56.0 sacks in college, he joined the Seahawks to play as a fullback. That ultimately did not work out, as Martin was waived in late May.

Martin is the all-time NCAA leader in sacks irrespective of division with his 56.0 quarterback takedowns. He holds the record for Division-II career tackles for loss as well, with 92.5.

Los Angeles announced Margin’s signing as a defensive end, meaning he will likely go back to playing defense.

The Rams will practice with the Ravens this week before taking on Baltimore for Los Angeles’ first preseason matchup on Thursday evening.

Slippery Rock one of my favorites right along with Austin Peay University. Their Nickname is "The Rock." Before Duane Johnson and now he'll be put back on defense where he belongs.

Margin's effect on the Rams will be, meh, "marginal".

Can't hurt to take a look at a guy who's got a lot of sacks, even if they are against "marginal" schools.


It's called "proof reading", you don't do it, you're reporting ends up "marginal".

This is probably a guy the Rams were looking at to sign as a UDFA but Seattle ended up getting him.

It only takes a couple of 3 minutes to proofread something so yeah I don't get it.

Could someone please fix the title of this thread so that it reads Marcus Martin and not Demarcus Martin?

Sorry about that I did hit the search, but it came up negative because of the "Demarcus" instead of Marcus so MODS, can we edit the thread?

I agree, but don't hold your breath on this one. Seattle is DESPERATE for any kind of pass rush and they moved him to FB before cutting him loose from their marginal defense.
