If you look at the stat sheet and nothing, you likely thought Jeremy Maclin had a down year last year and maybe began to age a bit early as he nears the 30-year-old mark. What the box scores don’t tell you is that the former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver played through injuries last year, including a torn groin muscle that limited his productivity and even availability at times.
Maclin finished the season with 44 catches for 563 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. All three were career-low totals in those respective categories, which likely led to his release from Kansas City considering he was going to require a $12 million cap hit.
