Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin has claimed that the team have "a lot of potential" as they gear up for the new season.

The Florida-based side finished with a disappointing 2-14 losing record, which left them as the joint-worst NFC team.

However, Martin claims that they can prove doubters wrong this year.

He told ESPN: "The sky is the limit. We have a lot of potential going into this year with this team. We have a lot of weapons and a lot of guys with fire in them that want to be successful. I just can't wait to get out there with them."

Martin scored two touchdowns in 11 games last season.
