Jeremy Maclin: The Leader

August 19th, 2008 by Maclin Zone

Generally teams look to a senior quarterback like Chase Daniel for leadership. But that may not be the case with the Missouri Tigers this year. Sophomore Jeremy Maclin wants that role.

“It’s not really about topping it, it’s becoming a better player. I can become a better player and not top what I did last year. That’s definitely my focus, is just becoming a more polished receiver, a better leader, just leading everybody and showing them the way.”

Jeremy is taking all the steps necessary to become a great team mate and a respected receiver in the NCAA. Even the coaches are on board. “The great thing about Jeremy is his work ethic is so good. His practice habits are better than they’ve ever been, he’s stronger than he’s ever been, he’s faster than he’s ever been, he’s more physical than he’s ever been. We expect him to have a better year this year than he had last year.”

I’m not one to hype players, but I think this reallycould be a record breaking year for Jeremy Maclin. He has all the physical tools to be outstanding and best of all he has a Heisman-calibur QB throwing him the ball.
