Summary

Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin was the first kicker to receive a scholarship at Appalachian State, but early struggles had his coaches delivering the harshest of criticism.

Martin talks with True Underdog Jayson Waller and co-host John LeBlanc about the adversity, negativity and depression he felt before he came out on the other side as a professional athlete in America’s biggest sport.
