With a lot of length, Martin Emerson certainly looks the part of an NFL corner.
The length is what’s intriguing about Emerson. You can see it during a press conference or when he’s on the field running through drills. His arms measured 33 1/2 inches during the combine, same as Jets first-round pick Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and easily at the top end of defensive backs. Good luck finding much more length than what Emerson has at corner.
“Being a bigger guy, getting my hands on them, can help disrupt routes and disrupt timing,” Emerson said. “So it helps a lot.” With Emerson’s size also comes the responsibility to play a physical style, something he isn’t afraid to do.One thing Emerson didn’t do much in college was intercept the ball. He had one during his entire college career as a freshman in 2019. Some of it is opportunity. He was targeted just 50 times in 2021, but he remembers the plays he could have made.
It’s unclear if Emerson will man the nickel spot vacated by the draft weekend trade of Troy Hill or if he could be the third outside cornerback, allowing Newsome to move inside when teams go to three or more wide receivers. According to data from, Newsome played 102 snaps in the slot his rookie season, including a combined 69 snaps in Weeks 17 and 18.
