Doug Martin, the running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has made his way into rehab! The 27-year-old California native was deactivated by the Team recently and now, we know the reason why.
According to reports Martin has been suspended for the team’s next four games by the NFL for violating the league’s drug policy.
In a statement issued today, he indicated that he plans to enter rehab.

The NFL running back ran for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise record 251 yards against the Oakland Raiders on November 4, 2012. During his rookie year in 2012, head coach Greg Schiano selected him as his starting running back after his great play during the pre-season.

Is certainly not good to be Doug Martin right now, is never easy to admit when a player is messing up. He could use someone on his side, but we can’t confirm if he is in a relationship or not.
