Exclusive interview with Curtis Martin

Throughout his tenure, with the New York Jets, Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin left an impression worthy of greatness. He sits with me for The Jet Press to discuss his career, the upcoming season, and so much more.

The moment running back Curtis Martin was acquired by the New York Jets, one can immediately tell there was a certain aura about him on the gridiron. Though outwardly quiet and humble, there nonetheless burned an intense competitive spirit within which soon established him as a team leader.

Those qualities served Martin well. He seldom made it to the highlight shows, simply going about his business game after game, year after year. At the end of the green and white rainbow, Martin found himself in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Ring of Honor of the Jets, and with his jersey number retired. After football, he’s a key contributor to a number of charities. All of this while barely raising his voice above a low, deep rumble. Similar to his style on the field.

Below is an excerpt from the interview which you can listen to in its entirety below:

I’d like to thank Curtis Martin for granting me an exclusive interview for The Jet Press. Please follow him on Twitter to keep up with everything he’s a part of. Here’s to another great season ahead for our beloved Jets!
