Jeremy Maclin

March 12, 2015 wide receiver Jeremy Maclin joined the Chiefs. Maclin came in to fill a gaping hole. The top man at the position for several years had been Dwayne Bowe, and the production from Bowe was just not up to snuff. It never really was, we just tolerated it enough to believe it was. For years, the talk was finding a quality second receiver to go with Bowe.

The real problem was Bowe. The passing game would not progress if Bowe stayed. Once he was released, that’s when real change happened and Maclin stepped in to give us a significant upgrade. Real second receivers could be found then also. In two seasons in Kansas City, Maclin has caught a total of 131 passes for 1,624 yards and 10 touchdowns.

I’ll have some thoughts on the playoff game later, I still need a couple more days to let it all digest. Thanks for reading Chiefs Kingdom. Stay loud, stay awesome, and Go Chiefs!
