Doug Martin, the former All-Pro running back for the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has died, his family said in a statement Sunday.
He was 36.
„It is with great sadness to inform you all that Doug Martin passed away Saturday morning“, the family statement said, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Tampa Bay, where Martin spent six of his seven NFL seasons, called him a „fan favorite“ who made „a lasting impact on our franchise.“
Just 5-foot-9, the Oakland, California-born star was known for his bruising style, earning him the nickname the „Muscle Hamster“, while amassing 5,356 and 30 touchdowns in seven NFL seasons, all but one with the Bucs.
