Clay Martin

Clay Martin hails from Pensacola, Florida, and turned a lifelong passion for sports into a career officiating in the National Football League. Born around 1975, he joined the league during the 2015 season starting as an umpire. His path upward required years of consistent performance and strict adherence to rules before earning a promotion. In 2018, following the retirements of veteran officials Terry McAulay and Gene Steratore, Martin stepped into the role of referee, taking charge of some of the game's most high-stakes matchups.[edit]
