Adrian Martinez

Best wishes to Adrian on a speedy recovery.  Dude was a baller and gave everything he had to the program.  Thanks Adrian.

Hopefully it's not anything beyond the labrum tear he suffered in high school like a rotator cuff tear.  It's probably not but shoulders are so complex with different people having different symptoms for the same injury you never know.

I had my right supraspinatus repaired last fall.  Knew it was blown right off.

Then this summer blew out my left labrum, subscapularis, and supraspinatus.  The doctor said the supraspinatus was torn for months before I endo'd my mtb.  Never knew it until then.

Recovery is about six months to feeling good but a year to full tendon strength.  If it's a rotator, I'd say he's for sure done.
You have been through a lot! Wow. I've had five surgeries including a shoulder. It takes time. It took me years to get back to feeling 100% normal. All situations unique of coarse. He's young, determined and takes care of himself. That'll be an advantage. My gut tells me it's a less severe variety. Hopeful of it anyway.

Adrian's given everything he's had indeed! He'll always have respect from here. His pass with the crappy call...You know what, he wasn't perfect but he had our backs and was giving his all. Nobody wanted to win more than him. Lots to be thankful for. 

 
If you go back and watch the games 5 of the int. Are on Martinez the others are on his receivers.
Off the top of my head, there are at least 1.5 ints that are not fully Martinez's fault (the last against Purdue where the defender made a good play and hit Allen in the right spot that had the ball launch up right into another defenders hands, and the 1st one against Wisconsin. It wasn't a good throw, but Martin made zero attempt on the ball).

Flipside, he also has at least 3 that should be counted as two (the pick 6 against Purdue, the Shovel Pass against Purdue, and the Arm Punt against Wisconsin).

One of my co-workers, a KSU fan, came up to me and said he's hearing chatter that KSU fans want Adrian if he jumps into the portal.  He was thinking that Adrian has already announced.

There's been some chatter there.   Especially since KSU's QB graduated and AM's girlfriend is on the soccer team at KSU.   I can see him doing that.

I didn't know that.  Seems very likely then.  Yes, my friend mentioned the KSU QB has graduated and he doesn't like the backup.

They've been together 2-3 years.  She's originally from LaVista.  Met through mutual friends in Lincoln.  He's made it to a handful of soccer matches down there so he's very familiar with the campus and the location.   I would say it's probably 50/50 if he leaves, he'll go to the lil apple.
