I'm sure this guy was discussed here years ago, but I couldn't find a thread on him. He was simply never given a shot in the NFL. He wasn't recruited by any big name colleges despite being a standout high school player. He was the best running back in the patriot league during his college days at Colgate. He was passed over in the draft and made the Chiefs roster as a UFDA. He was 3rd in rushing yards in the NFL during the preseason which is saying a lot because he only was given carries in 2 of the game I believe. His measurables were great and on par with all the running backs in the combine. During the regular season he was only given 5 carries and caught 1 pass and then he was released before the 2013 season. I could be wrong about his ability since I never saw him play, but it seems he was another pale face who was snubbed by the NFL.

Yes definitely. He played well in his rookie year, mainly as a fullback. In my opinion he would have been a quality starting running back had he been given a chance.

After Andy Reid took over the Chiefs he quickly released Eachus. He never got another chance.

Criminals who violently assault white women, like Tyreek Hill, are okay with Reid. But not white running backs who play well.

Joe Martinek was another good running back prospect from the 2012 draft that was never given a fair chance. I believe that he also would have been a quality starting running back.

I just read an article about Martinek. He ran a 4.40 40 yard dash and was perfect running back size at 6 foot and 225 pounds. He never even saw a snap in the pros. Completely ignored and never given a chance. He still holds the highschool rushing record for the state of New Jersey....he should have had a full ride to any school in the nation.

"Jersey Joe" Martinek was royally screwed over by Schiano at Rutgers (much like Brian Leonard was when he was forced to play second fiddle to Ray Rice when Leonard helped put Rutgers on the map). Martinek would of been a 1k rusher each of his last two seasons if he was given more carries. After his sophomore season his carries declined from 206 to 85 to 24 his senior year. If I recall Nate Eachus was forced to "bulk up" and play FB for the Chiefs during his short stint even though his body size/frame (5'10 215) did in no way make him a FB (only his skin color played a role in his quick conversion to FB before being exiled from the league).

With all the events going on around us I have begun to think why more white people are not lawyering up and going after companies who fire them for not going along with the Black Lives Matter nonsense. I honestly feel that a lot of white athletes could hit the NFL with lawsuits on the basis they were discriminated from playing certain positions because of their skin color therefore were denied a few million dollars at least due to the caste system. This may be another reason why even though the discrimination is so blatant there is no move by any main stream journalists to acknowledge it and give the story legs - to protect the NFL (and NCAA for that matter) from serious financial fallout. We have compiled a ton of both anecdotal and empirical evidence here that could be used as the framework for lawsuits. Makes me think that is another reason why this site is buried in search engines and has been the target of the MSM on at least one occasion (not to mention DWFs on football message boards who do their best to de-legitimize the site).

The best thing about this site is we always use statistics and measurables if possible. We don't just say a player is good or bad, we use numbers to back it up or at least attempt to compare them to other players who are starters. In the case of Martinek and Eachus they had incredible numbers but weren't even given a shot. If they had been given a legitimate shot and performed poorly then I would accept that, but they never even got a chance to play.

The last I heard of Eachus was he was playing in a low semi-pro minor league and was earning chump change 20K or so a year to play in one of these leagues. Supposedly he was coaching amateur ball and got the playing bug again.

He didn't surface in the two failed AAA level leagues, which is quite telling in PTB's view on your playing ability.

Eachus not being given a camp flier at tailback when Fat Bastard took over is bizarre considering his previous stats in exhibition games at tailback.

Eachus was definitely screwed. Complete slap in the face and racial profiling to convert him to FB. 5'10 215 FB, what a ****** joke lol.

Jersey Joe was another RB that had potential, along with Jake Sharp..

I believe there's a fortune to be made suing people and governments for anti-white discrimination in this country. Not just in sports. An alert lawyer or law firm could make out very well doing this.

Look what happened with the Nick Sandmann case. Total victory.

Some white athletes who were discriminated against in college could band together and file a class action lawsuit. I think they'd have a good chance to win.
