It has become a customary sight during the Chiefs’ organized team activities this spring — Jeremy Maclin, the team’s new No. 1 wide receiver, going all out to catch a pass.
Whether the pass is too high, too low or too far in front of him, Maclin has consistently tried to haul in every one, even if he sometimes goes to the ground because of that effort.
“You try to stay off the ground, but when that’s ball in the air, it’s a different story,” Maclin said. “It’s instincts and reaction.”
Mind you, players don’t wear pads in OTAs, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid discourages players from doing things that can cause injuries.
