Martin’s career started without much fanfare but he quickly put his name on the NFL map after Week 1 (1995) of his rookie season; the first play and the last sum up Curtis Martin’s entire career of speed and hard running. Just to top it off, he went over 100 yards against a Belichick led defense and two great linebackers Pepper Johnson and Carl Banks (even if on the back side of their careers).
