Jeremy Maclin Zone

USA Today wrote an article about the top 5 favorite Non-QB Heisman candidates. On the list were Knowshon Moreno, Chris Wells, Michael Crabtree, Ian Johnson, and your very own Jeremy Maclin. Here’s what they had to say about him:

Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri: Could be hurt by having a Heisman Trophy favorite on his team in Chase Daniel. Maclin rushed for 375 yards and 4 TDs, caught 80 passes for 1,055 ards and 9 TDs and returned three kicks for 3 TDs. Desmond Howard in 1991 showed what a combination back can do for your Heisman chances. The game against Texas on Oct. 18 will say a lot for his and Daniel’s chances.

I’m not sure having Chase Daniel will hurt Maclins chances at becoming a Heisman winner. Reggie Bush won a Heisman with Matt Leinart on the team. What Maclin needs to do to secure a spot in college football history is make big plays in big games. He needs to have that “Heisman moment”.
