From the article

Martin was a menace in coverage. On the second punt of the day, he got right into the face of returner Barion Brown, chirping as he made a fair catch. Lo and behold, on the very next punt, it was Martin who stopped Brown for a gain of four yards.

Martin's special teams dominance justifies his roster spot despite zero offensive snaps.

Martin did not see offensive snaps (zero snaps) but made his mark on special teams as a menace in coverage. He got into the face of returner Barion Brown on the second punt of the day, then stopped Brown for a gain of four yards on the next punt, buried Brown for zero yards on the following punt, and made a trio of special teams tackles by shutting down Brown on a kickoff return at the Saints' 21-yard line. The source notes that while Martin should not see much offensive playing time this year, his special teams prowess will justify his roster spot.
