Aaron Maybin

As I reported a few weeks ago, this dude has been working out like a fein. He's been training with the guy (cant remember his name now) that trains Ray Lewis and some other big time NFL LBs

According to him he's put on 10 pounds in the last month.

I know a lot of people don't like him right now, but I think with this new defense he's going to become a very good rush OLB in this league.

To me it's almost like we have another high rookie draft pick on this team already.

Re: Aaron Maybin

How dare you even suggest that Maybin could improve now that he'll be playing the right position. He did nothing last year, thus he'll never be worth a damn.

Re: Aaron Maybin

I'll believe it when he actually shows something on the field

Re: Aaron Maybin

Is he going to be fast enough to be effective when he puts on more weight though?

He was in the low 220's coming out of college and bulked up about 15-20 lbs before going to the NFL. Another 10 lbs and that's 30 lbs in a year. Granted, it's clearly muscle and not fat, but it's still another 30 lbs to move around.

Re: Aaron Maybin

I get why people would be skeptical. . But in his defense, he was hardly put in a position to succeed under Jauron and Fewell.

He's got talent.

It's kinda like drafting a big, tall WR and then putting him in the slot.. It won't work

I love myopic arguments. The fact that he did nothing last year is only one of many arguments against Maybin. He only had one good year in college, he's undersized, he did literally nothing last year and could have had Orakpo round out the criticisms. This was a BAD pick that will haunt this organization for years.

I never root for Bills players to fail, and I hope this guy turns it around. But hope is different from expectations. Given his size, his short college career, and his complete lack of performance last season, there is no reason to expect that he'll turn around.

Well it will be like having another rookie out there, yes.

Hmm, nice, add him to a team that has mostly played like rookies for years now.

Re: Aaron Maybin

I don't know why you guys are so hard on Maybin. I mean, who else on this team is going to jump up and down like he won the Super Bowl every time he assists on a tackle?

Re: Aaron Maybin

Isn't he working out with Willis McGahee? And does that concern anybody here?

I thought Chris Kelsay had that job locked down years ago.

The reports on him coming out of college said that he has the frame to add weight and maintain his quickness. Honestly, how they truly know that, I'm not sure, though he does have a tall frame that should be able to support 250-260 pounds. I also don't know how long it might take him to get used to the extra weight.

However, I do believe that he'll benefit from a full offseason of real NFL training. Before the draft it was obvious he just wanted to add weight (he was at 249 for the NFL combine) and put up good numbers. Now he'll be used to the grind of the NFL and working out at all the minicamps and all of training camp. Hopefully it will help him.

One thing that was universal about him coming out was because of his age he has the ability to grow into whatever a team wants him to be size wise. I think he'll be on the field and productive this year. When's your interview with him Pat?
