Max Martin’s Michigan Career: Big Frame, Early Flash, Limited Finish
In the 2004-2005 seasons, Max Martin showed enough pop as a big-bodied Michigan back to earn early opportunities, finishing with 85 career carries for 358 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns, plus 2 catches in 2005. The differentiator was his size-and-power profile at 6-foot-1 and about 216 pounds, which made him a downhill, contact-friendly runner rather than a jitterbug. The downside: his production never fully popped, and his Michigan stint ultimately fizzled, with reports noting his career was slowed by inconsistency and a long gap away from the game.
