1.03 Carolina Convicts — RB Doug Martin

	In the real world: Martin snuck into late Round 1 in the NFL Draft when the Tampa Bay Bucs, disenchanted with LeGarrette Blount, traded up with the Denver Broncos for the 31st overall pick. Martin simply does more things well. NFL Films guru Greg Cosell believes Doug Martin runs with the "mentality of a feature back." Scouts, Inc. considered him to be among the best RBs for competitiveness, power/balance and in terms of what he brings to the passing game (catching/blocking).
	In the TUFF world: The Cons have upgraded their running game from "moribund" to "subpar" in recent years, and with Martin, they take another stab at improving it. He'll add needed depth at the position, at the very least. He is perhaps the only rookie RB other than Trent Richardson who could be starting right out of the box this year. Carolina passed up Ryan Williams (potential Beanie Wells handcuff) last year, but maybe it was just as well; he tore his knee, and Wells took full advantage by rushing for 1,047 yards and 10 TDs. Besides, taking WR Julio Jones over Williams has already become a fine example of drafting the best available player instead of drafting for need, and drafting for talent instead of job situation.
	TUFF trivia: Roy Helu (Carolina's 2nd-round pick last year) did something Wells and C.J. Spiller have yet to do—run for 100 or more yards in 3 straight games (Helu did so in weeks 12-14).
