Martin is faster, better in coverage and a bigger hitter.

Interesting post... I know Broaddus has said similar things. Maybe not that he's better (can't remember that for sure) but that he's better in coverage.

Which surprises me, because he never struck me as that good at it in college. I thought he was more of a big hitter type. But you and others are definitely seeing it.

I paid so little attention to Barron when Bama played, I don't even know how to compare them. But I'd hope Barron would be much better if we were considering him at 14.
