Jeremy Maclin NFL Draft Bio

Jeremy Maclin (born May 11, 1988) is an American football wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Missouri, and was a two-time All-American as a kick returner. He was selected by the Eagles in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

Maclin attended the University of Missouri, where he played on coach Gary Pinkel's Missouri Tigers football team from 2006 to 2008. He played as a redshirt sophomore wide receiver, punt and kick return specialist for the Missouri Tigers in 2007 and 2008. He holds the NCAA freshman record for most all-purpose yards in a single season. His yardage totals in four categories were: 307 punt returning, 375 rushing, 1,039 kickoff returning, and 1,055 receiving for a total of 2,776 yards; an average of 198.3 yards per game in his 14 games.

Maclin was named as a Consensus First-team All-American by the Associated Press as a wide receiver and as an All-Purpose player. Maclin, paired with Heisman Trophy finalist Chase Daniel led the Missouri Tigers to a 12-2 record and victory in the 2008 Cotton Bowl Classic. Maclin also gained All-America selections on various other teams as a kick returner. He finished his All-American season with 80 receptions and 16 touchdowns.

Maclin began his second season with the Tigers (2008) with high expectations and possible consideration for the Heisman Trophy. In the Tigers’ season-opener against the Illinois Fighting Illini, he returned a kickoff for a touchdown but left the game with an ankle injury. He had 4 receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown. The next game, against Southeast Missouri State, Maclin caught only 2 passes for 20 yards and a touchdown. Maclin was also involved in a trick play, however, in which quarterback Chase Daniel lined up at wide receiver and Maclin lined up at quarterback. Maclin threw a lateral to Daniel, who threw down field for a touchdown. Maclin recorded 6 receptions for 172 yards and 3 touchdowns against Nevada.

He led all of major-college football in all-purpose yards per game with 202.36 (2,833 yds. in 14 G), over 15 yards more than second-place Jahvid Best (187.25) of California. He had 1,260 receiving, 1,010 kickoff return, 293 rushing, and 270 punt returns yardage for 2,833 all-purpose yards.

He was named to the Associated Press All-American as a wide receiver, and he was once again named to the First-team as the All-Purpose player. Maclin was a unanimous pick in 2007 for the same position as a freshman.
