In Miami, Martin gained national attention from the Richie Incognito/Dolphins bullying scandal. He spent two seasons with the Dolphins before the trade last March sent him to the 49ers in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
The Dolphins selected Martin in the second round of the 2012 NFL draft out of Stanford, where he played under former 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh from 2008 to 2010. Harbaugh was the 49ers' coach from 2011 to 2014 before parting ways with the team this offseason and returning to his alma mater, Michigan.
