Curtis Martin busted out of the gate with the Patriots, putting in some amazing seasons before getting traded to the Jets. While he hasn't matched the early performance while on the Pats, he has been a reliable performer. More importantly, he signed on with a new owner in 1999 who has stuck with him through good and bad times.

That loyalty has been rewarded. We landed an interview with the Pro-Bowler, and he had some interesting comments.

SFFL: Seven straight years with the same owner. And no long-term contract.
Martin: Hey, what can I say man. Randy likes playing with a winner, and as you can tell, I'm good at playing for losers
SFFL: That's a little harsh.
Martin: Look who he's surrounded me with? First year, back in '99, I was psyched when he paired me up with Peyton and Watters. But then he took Richard Huntley.
SFFL: Who is Richard Huntley?
Martin: Exactly.
SFFL: Are you saying you'd rather be playing for someone else?
Martin: There's been times, but ya know what they say about the greener grass, right? Besides, we look good this year. Rudi, Terrell, Moss. And no vultures to steal my touchdowns.
SFFL: From 2000-2002, your average draft position was 13. The last three years it has been 33.
Martin: Hey, I can't fault the other owners too blind to draft me. Randy's just taking advantage of the opportunities available. Had he picked me in the first or second round, I'd probably have wound up being teammates with Donté and DeShaun.
SFFL: But you did.
Martin: God dammit.
SFFL: Well, good luck to you this year.
Martin: Thanks man. But I don't need luck.
