He plays physical and much stronger than his size would lead on. Maclin&#8217;s athleticism and speed are his biggest assets with him being able to score from just about anywhere on the field.<\/p>\n<p>Cons: = There is not much weakness to his game other than questions about his knee and his burst out of his cuts when running routes. He needs to work on being a precise route runner and exploding out of the breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Summary: = Maclin is an excellent athlete at the WR position who I think can truly be a No. 2 receiver almost immediately. His speed, hands, and physical style gives him a chance to make an impact right away. Some might say his numbers are inflated because of Missouri&#8217;s offense and they may be right, but to me with Maclin I don&#8217;t think it matters what system he is in he can make plays. He is an excellent returner and will make an impact on a team right away returning kicks. Maclin needs to get to training camp looking to improve on some of the basics of being a WR, route running for one, and if he does he could make a real impact next season.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/walterfootball.com\/scoutingreport2009jmaclin.php<\/p>\n<p>Great Kick-off and Punt returner<\/p>\n<p>&lt;object width=&#8221;425&#8243; height=&#8221;344&#8243;&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;movie&#8221; value=&#8221;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/GKsUjZWiz7g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&#8243;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;allowFullScreen&#8221; value=&#8221;true&#8221;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;allowscriptaccess&#8221; value=&#8221;always&#8221;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/GKsUjZWiz7g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&#8243; type=&#8221;application\/x-shockwave-flash&#8221; allowscriptaccess=&#8221;always&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;true&#8221; width=&#8221;425&#8243; height=&#8221;344&#8243;&gt;&lt;\/embed&gt;&lt;\/object&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Also this kid has some skills. \u00a0We will see how he pans out though, hopefully McNabb will be happy! \u00a0We love you D-Mac<\/p>\n<p>Heres Maclins highlight reel<\/p>\n<p>&lt;object width=&#8221;425&#8243; height=&#8221;344&#8243;&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;movie&#8221; value=&#8221;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/D4Z5eMtxcXI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&#8243;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;allowFullScreen&#8221; value=&#8221;true&#8221;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;allowscriptaccess&#8221; value=&#8221;always&#8221;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/D4Z5eMtxcXI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&#8243; type=&#8221;application\/x-shockwave-flash&#8221; allowscriptaccess=&#8221;always&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;true&#8221; width=&#8221;425&#8243; height=&#8221;344&#8243;&gt;&lt;\/embed&gt;&lt;\/object&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pros: = Maclin has proven himself as a tough player by coming back from the knee injury he suffered prior to his freshman season.
