Yeah crazy that Iowa, UW, MSU, others, built a relationship with him. Harbaugh shows up, offers him, jumps in a pool, and that relationship doesn't stick.
I mean let’s be honest too, it was a bad move on his part to go join a WR class that consisted of DPJ, Tarik Black, and Nico Collins. DPJ was a 5* and the #1 WR recruit of that class and Black and Nico we’re both 4*, top 100ish overall players.
Martin was clearly 4th best of that bunch from the word go. That’s a WR logjam to join- especially in a “basic bitch” offense as craptastic with as anemic a passing attack as what Harbaugh and Pep had been running.
Harbaugh is a guy that likes to feature the FB and use as many as 3 TEs in some formations. You don’t go play WR for him, you’re just not gonna get enough balls come your way. You especially don’t go play WR for him when the 3 others you come in with are better than you are.
DPJ is an absolute freak and he flashed his potential last year despite playing in a crappy offense.
Nico had some big time moments and was probably the most consistent of all the receivers. Great deep ball and red zone target.
Black is the best they’ve got but he can’t stay healthy for an entire season his first two years.
Here’s to hoping Black is finally healthy and Harbaugh turns the reigns over to Gattis and keeps his nose out of the offense.
