In just two seasons at Missouri, Maclin established himself as one of college football's most dangerous offensive threats. Whether lining up in the slot, at split end, flanker or coming out of the backfield, the talented sophomore's vision and superb quickness forced the defense to account for him on every play.

In addition to his exploits as the team's clutch receiver and third-down specialist (22 of his 55 first-down catches in 2008 came on third-down snaps), Maclin also provided Tiger fans with the opportunity of seeing one of the most explosive kickoff and punt returners in the collegiate game. He would go on to be the only player in school history to score on a reception, a rushing attempt, a punt return and kickoff return.

All told, Maclin found the end zone a total of 32 times in 28 contests. He is just the third player in NCAA history to average more than 200 all-purpose yards per game during a career (202.36 ypg). His 2,776 all-purpose yards in 2007 set a major college single-season record for freshmen. The following season, he became the sixth player in NCAA annals to amass more than 2,800 all-purpose yards in a season (2,833).

Maclin's 1,346 yards in total kick returns in 2007 was two yards shy of the NCAA single-season record. He joined Derek Abney of Kentucky (2000-03) as the only major college players to ever gain more than 2,000 yards receiving and more than 2,000 yards in kickoff returns during a career, with Maclin accomplishing that feat in only two seasons.

Maclin's average of 73.18 yards per game gained on kickoff returns is the best since Steve Odom of Utah set the NCAA record (78.24 ypg, 1971-73). In addition to that kickoff return average, the multi-talented athlete averaged 82.68 yards per game receiving, 20.61 yards on punt returns and 23.86 yards rushing during his time with the Tigers.

At Kirkwood High School, Maclin was an outstanding two-sport athlete who was considered the top wide receiver and one of the top overall prospects to come out of the state of Missouri in 2006. The star receiver, safety and punt returner was ranked as the nation's 24th-best wide receiver prospect by Rivals.com and was listed as the third-best overall prospect in Missouri by the same outlet.

He earned first-team All-State honors as a receiver in 2005, after catching 41 passes for 1,042 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 25.4 yards per catch. He also carried the ball 36 times for 293 yards and four scores, adding two more touchdowns throwing the ball. He proved to be a dangerous return man, as he took 11 punts back for an average of 24.6 yards per return, with one going for a touchdown.

On defense, Maclin was named All-Conference as a safety, as he notched 55 tackles and added four interceptions, including one that he returned for a score. As a junior, he earned first-team All-State honors, as he caught 58 passes for 1,184 yards and 18 touchdowns, while rushing for two scores and also returning one kickoff for a touchdown. He also added 59 tackles and six interceptions. Maclin was a second-team All-Conference pick as a sophomore, catching 33 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns, as he also averaged 25 yards per punt return and 30 yards per kickoff return that year.

Maclin was also a standout on the hardwood, as he averaged 11.2 points, 4.1 assists and 2.5 steals per game for Kirkwood's basketball team. He was an honorable-mention All-State and first-team All-Conference guard as a junior, averaging 13.3 points, 5.2 assists and 4.1 steals per game.

After red-shirting in 2006 at Missouri, Maclin burst onto the scene in 2007, becoming the first freshman in school history to earn All-American first-team honors. He set the NCAA freshman single-season record with 2,776 all-purpose yards, scoring a total of 16 times on 199 touches.

He was second on the squad with 80 receptions for 1,055 yards (13.2 avg) and nine scores, adding 375 yards and four touchdowns on 51 carries (7.4 avg), two more scores with a 12.3-yard average on 25 punt returns and averaged 24.2 yards on 43 kickoff returns, including another touchdown.

In 2008, Maclin continued his assault on the school, Big 12 Conference and NCAA record books. The All-American first-team choice was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation's top receiver. He became the sixth player in league history to catch more than 100 passes (102) in a season, gaining 1,260 yards (12.4 avg) with 13 touchdowns.

Maclin was second on the team with 293 yards and two scores on 40 carries (7.3 avg) and tallied 270 yards on 23 punt returns (11.7 avg) that included another score. With his 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, he became the first Big 12 player to score on a kickoff return, punt return, rushing attempt and reception in more than one season. He would also become only the second major college player to gain more than 1,000 kickoff return yards (1,010) in back-to-back seasons.

GENERAL REPORT: GRADE: 7.58

Body Structure: Maclin has a lean and muscular frame with room to add more bulk without it affecting his excellent quickness. He displays a tight waist, defined legs (thighs, calves and ankles), developed abdomen and high cut legs with well-developed hamstrings. He possesses good width in his shoulders and chest and low body fat.

Athletic Ability: Maclin has good overall muscle development and appears to have more than enough strength to defeat the jam. He demonstrates an explosive burst coming off the snap and the loose hips to make defenders miss when weaving through traffic. He shows that second gear to turn a slant pass into a long gainer, and with his exceptional playing speed and burst he can proudly proclaim that he has never been tackled from behind during his career. He is much more than just a receiver, as he has the lower body power to handle the rushing load and break tackles working through the pile. He also displays the vision and patience to follow his blockers and then turn on the after-burners to beat the defense down the sidelines. He has outstanding hip snap and agility to elude in attempts to gain big yardage after the catch. He makes smooth body adjustments and possesses solid hands and extension to catch away from his frame. He has outstanding balance, speed and change-of-direction agility. He shows the second-level speed and explosiveness with a fluid natural running motion to run past most defenders in isolated coverage. GRADE-8.5

Football Sense: Maclin has incredible vision and a great feel for locating the soft spots on the field. He might take his eyes off the ball a few times, but is quick to recover and settle under the pass. He needs route refinement, but is alert to pocket pressure and works back quickly when the quarterback is flushed out. He shows keen awareness on the field, especially with keeping his feet along the sidelines. He is quick to settle into the holes in the zone and is very effective as a cut blocker because of his feel for taking angles. He finds the open areas quickly and does a nice job of working back for the ball, but at this stage of the game he relies more on his speed rather than football experience. He is a good learner who needs just a few reps, thanks to solid retention skills. GRADE: 7.4

Character: Maclin is outgoing and warm-hearted, displaying a work ethic that even the most impatient coach will fall in love with. He has no character issues and even though he was an underclassman, he did a good job of concentrating on academics. GRADE: 7.4

Competitiveness: Maclin is not the type who plays with a swagger, letting his final statistics speak volumes for his competitive nature. He is fearless going for the ball in traffic and will sacrifice himself without hesitation to make the play. He loves to compete and is very confident with producing when his number is called during crunch time (came up with four game-winning plays in 28 contests). He is very tough and aggressive going for the ball, but you would like to see him take a more aggressive approach when facing up as a blocker. When on his game, he will give a good, consistently high effort and he always comes prepared to play, but will sometimes frustrate the coaches by taking the ball out of bounds rather than attempt to drive through the defender. He will perform through pain. GRADE: 7.1

Work Habits: To Maclin, football is important. He is a good worker in all areas, a team-first guy who is generally the last to leave the practice field. He is not the type who needs to be pushed a bit in the weight room, an area that he always embraces. While most draft eligibles left home in January to work at training facilities in preparation for the Combine, Maclin was a regular visitor at the Missouri training facility, preferring to work out on his own. That work ethic produced one of the better Combine results by a player in 2009. GRADE-7.5

ATHLETIC REPORT: GRADE: 7.44

Release: Maclin simply explodes out of his stance and past a lethargic defender to instantly get into his patterns. He has that natural second gear to gobble up the cushion and get behind cornerbacks on deep routes. He needs to sink his pads more (gets too erect at times), but it is hard to mirror him once he gets past his opponent. He also generates decent hand usage to beat the press. He shows outstanding foot quickness and hip shake with suddenness when trying to change direction (very good at freezing defenders at the line of scrimmage). The thing you notice mostly on film is his exceptional acceleration to get up field once he creates the lane. Unlike most speedsters, he does not dance too much at the line and that allows him to show outstanding quickness in his release, with the shiftiness and avoidance ability at the line of scrimmage to defeat the press. Even though he is still developing strength, he does a good job of pushing off the defender and quickly eludes with his swim move. GRADE: 8.6.

Acceleration: Maclin's burst has that "catch me if you can" label for defenders to view as he races by. Once he gets a clean release and into the second level, it is nearly impossible to slow him down. He has great body control and adjustment skills to maintain stride and speed running through tight quarters. He might not look like he has size to run through traffic, but with his strength and burst, he easily creates separation to turn the slants and fades into big gainers. He is reliable catching the ball (secured a nation-high 79.07 percent of the passes thrown to him in 2008). His exceptional speed is more evident on deep patterns, where he consistently gets behind the defender. He has good leaping ability, but just adequate timing, leading to the defense batting away 14 of the 27 balls he did not catch last season. If a defender hesitates, Maclin can change gears and beat his man. He is quick to uncover and even quicker to separate on short patterns. He shows exceptional ability to get open deep, displaying that superb speed needed to take the ball to the house. GRADE: 8.7

Quickness: Maclin is blessed with outstanding quickness on the field. He makes short and sharp cuts without having to break stride and his initial burst is sudden, especially when left uncontested. He can avoid defenders on the move, create lanes and get upfield in an instant once he gets a clean release. It is rare to see him get too busy with the press corners at the line of scrimmage and he quickly gains advantage on the defender due to his speed. He has a good feel for knowing when to gear down in order to prevent from out-running the ball. GRADE: 8.5

Route Running: This is probably Maclin's weakest area. He routes his cuts at times and will drift in and out on long patterns. But, if you need a receiver to fly off the line, especially on posts, this is where he excels. He needs to improve his ability on comeback routes, but compensates with good urgency working back when the QB is flushed. He displays excellent quickness and foot speed in and out of his breaks. When he plays at a low pad level, he gets into his routes immediately. He shows good set up and body control and knows how to use his hands to prevent the defender from attacking him and trying to reroute him with a strong push. GRADE: 5.9

Separation Ability: Maclin showed improvement sinking his hips and exploding out of his breaks as a sophomore, but does struggle to separate when he comes off the snap with an erect stance. He is better served as a slot receiver, as he excels at taking slants and crossers for big yardage rather than lining out wide. He is still a work in progress when it comes to setting up defenders, as he lacks good head and shoulder fakes, relying more on his burst and second gear to elude. Still, that speed and burst allows him to consistently get past defenders. He is very quick out of his breaks, especially when trying to pull and separate with vertical routes and short runs, but must be more conscious of playing with a low pad level. GRADE: 6.5

Ball Concentration: Maclin shows consistency with his body control and quick ball reaction skills to extend and snatch passes along the sidelines, but the coaches wish he would not take the ball out of bounds so much when working along the outside. He has the hands, arm length and extension agility to dig out the low throws, but is most comfortable tracking the ball over his outside shoulder, doing so without having to throttle down and break stride. He has good concentration and keeps his keep eyes on the ball in flight. He still needs to do a better job of being aware of the sticks, but is very adept at working his way back for the pass. GRADE: 7.6

Ball Adjustment: Maclin shows good courage going up for the ball to high point the pass in traffic. He has the functional strength to hold up to punishing hits he takes going over the middle. He shows the ability to make proper adjustments on ball and is very athletic to turn his body around as he tracks the ball well. His flexibility and ability to turn allows him to excel at adjusting to the off-target passes. GRADE: 7.8

Leaping Ability: Maclin runs hot and cold in this category. For a player with his impressive vertical jump in workouts and for one with decent size (shade over six feet), it is puzzling to see all the passes he had batted away from him in 2008 (14 of the 27 passes he failed to get to were broken up by the opposition). He has very good leaping ability, showing the proper explosiveness to go get the ball and out jump, especially on deep patterns, but needs to time his leaps better to be more efficient. GRADE: 6.4.

Hands: Maclin has the natural hands and good ball security skills to excel as a receiver, on the reverse and when returning kicks. He looks natural getting elevation and extension to catch outside his frame and if he drops a pass, it is usually the result of momentarily losing focus. He has soft, natural hands, extending well to catch away from the body's framework. He will revert to body catching, at times, but is a soft hands catcher who just needs to learn how to time his leaps properly to get to the pass at its highest point. GRADE: 8.0.

Run After the Catch: Maclin is an exciting and electrifying open-field runner. He shows outstanding skill set in terms of speed, quickness, agility and change of direction. He is tough to bring down in isolated coverage and does a nice job of sidestepping low tackles. When he is out in front, he will generally win most foot races (never caught from behind in college). GRADE: 8.3

Blocking Ability: Maclin is an effective cut blocker, but does not show great desire to face up to blitzers working in the backfield or along the line. He is more of a pester type, but needs to do a better job of seeking out and neutralizing defenders, especially in the backfield.

GRADE: 8.3.

Compares To: STEVE BREASTON, Arizona -- It is hard to find one NFL player that Maclin is similar to. He has the receiving skills of former Rams standout Torry Holt, but as a slot receiver and returner also draws comparisons to Breaston, even though he is a bit bigger and stronger. He still needs to refine his route running, but much like Carolina's Steve Smith, once he gets that ball in his hands he becomes the most dangerous weapon on the field.

OVERALL GRADE-7.46

--Report by Dave-Te' Thomas.
