Zack Martin, the seven-time All-Pro guard for the Dallas Cowboys, reportedly plans to retire at the age of 34 according to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero.
Drafted out of Notre Dame in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Martin made his presence felt from the moment he stepped onto the field. His immediate transition into an elite offensive guard was unprecedented. He earned All-Pro honors as a rookie and quickly became the gold standard for consistency and excellence. Martin anchored their offensive line over his ten seasons with the Cowboys with unmatched skill, intelligence, and physicality, helping transform Dallas into one of the league’s most potent offensive units.
Throughout his career, Martin’s accolades spoke volumes. Along with his seven All-Pro selections, he was also an eight-time Pro Bowler, a testament to his dominance and respect across the league. His impeccable technique and ability to neutralize even the most aggressive defenders made him a nightmare for opposing defenses and a foundational piece for the Cowboys. During his time on the Cowboys O-Line, the team has had 9 seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher.
Beyond the stats and awards, Martin’s leadership and football IQ were invaluable to the Cowboys. Younger players often looked to him as a mentor, and his steady presence epitomized reliability both on and off the field. Quarterbacks and running backs alike lauded his contributions, crediting him as a driving force behind their success.
