He thanked Aaron and “every training staff member that did whatever they could to get me ready for game day.”Maclin had just one good year for the Chiefs: the 2015 season, in which he had 1 Larry Johnson Jersey ,088 yards and eight touchdowns on 87 receptions.For his career, he finished with 6,835 yards on 514 catches and 49 touchdowns.We wish him well.
