dependable Kentucky linebacker with sneaky value as a depth-and-special-teams piece
Martez Thrower has been a steady, physical presence for Kentucky, flashing best in the 2023 season with 14 tackles and a tackle for loss in 10 games after earlier seasons as a rotational contributor. He’s built like a true inside linebacker at 6-2 and around 212-224 pounds, and reliable coverage and special-teams work have kept him in the mix even without a start. The knock? He’s more proven as a supporting piece than an every-down star, but coaches’ praise and his toughness make him a useful fit for teams needing a high-effort, low-drama linebacker.
