Martin played linebacker at Oklahoma State
The Cincinnati Bengals are officially in 2025 NFL Draft mode with Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase locked up for the foreseeable future.
All eyes will now turn on how the team can shore up their defense this offseason, and the draft is going to ideally be a huge help for the Bengals. While figuring out a contract with Trey Hendrickson may be the priority, adding elite talent in the draft is what will keep this team competing for the long-term future.
That said, the Bengals have a top-30 visit scheduled with Nick Martin, The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler has reported. Martin didn’t play much in 2024 but had a strong 2023 campaign.
Martin also attended the 2025 NFL Combine and ran a 4.53 40-yard dash, so he has athleticism on his side. With the Bengals needing help at linebacker, Martin will likely be an option for Cincinnati, especially if the visit goes well.
The 6-foot Martin had 83 solo tackles in 2023 and also had 16 tackles for a loss. With two interceptions, he proved he could do a little bit of everything, and with Germaine Pratt having requested a trade, the position is a huge need.
The Bengals should be able to go for the best available prospect with most of their picks, which is a win in and of itself. Given how Martin looked in 2023, let’s hope the Bengals can land the former Cowboys star.
