Martrez Milner attended West Hall High School in Gainesville, Georgia where he played football and basketball. As a senior he caught 22 passes for 374 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also carried the ball 3 times for 55 yards. On defense he finished the season with 39 tackles and 3 sacks. He also had a blocked field goal on special teams. He accepted a scholarship to the University of Georgia where he sat out the 2002 season as a redshirt. He saw action in all 13 games the following season as a reserve tight end and special teams player. He caught 1 pass for 15 yards on the season. As a sophomore, Milner saw action in 10 games, missing the others due to back spasms. He started two games, finishing the season with 4 receptions for 77 yards. As a junior, Milner saw action in every game, starting four contests. He had a career high 111 receiving yards against Boise State. He finished the season with 14 receptions for 291 yards and 2 touchdowns. He was named the team’s “most improved offensive player” at the conclusion of the season.

Martrez Milner has a good combination of size and athleticism for a tight end. He has average hands and he does a good job of turning upfield, allowing himself to gain additional yards after the catch. His speed and athleticism will create mismatches against slower linebackers. He has the ability to make plays down the field as well. Milner is a solid blocker who displays good technique; however, he can have problems against bigger, stronger defenders at times. He would benefit as a blocker by bulking up and increasing his strength and he does have the frame in which to do so. He does drop catchable passes at times and he needs to work on running more precise routes. Martrez doesn’t have a great deal of experience, having only started one full season at Georgia, but he hasn’t yet reached his full potential and he does have a good deal of upside. Milner comes from a program that has become well-known for developing NFL caliber tight ends. Martrez will try to follow in the footsteps of former Georgia tight ends such as: Jermaine Wiggins, Randy McMichael, Ben Watson, and most recently Leonard Pope. He should be a mid-round pick in the 2007 NFL draft.
