The NFL Combine took place over the past few days and wrap up tomorrow in Indianapolis. During one of the deep ball receiving drills, Jeremy Maclin injured his knee. I’m sure it was a extremely scary moment for Jeremy and the coaches/scouts watching him.

“I’m doing well,” Maclin said Sunday evening. “I’m hurting a little bit from the spill I took. I basically outran the throw. I tried to plant and come back and took a little spill and kind of hyperextended my left knee and fell on my right side.”

Some players would take the day off the recoup, but not Jeremy.

“I had to get back out there,” said Maclin, considered the second-best receiver in the draft. It was one of the biggest days of my life. You’ve got to stay healthy. Thats the one of the NFLs biggest questions, durability. I’ve never missed a game. I’m still in good shape.

“Other than that, I ran routes pretty well, I didn’t drop a ball. I feel good… I’m a little disappointed in my 40 time.”

Earlier in the morning, Maclin ran unofficial times of 4.34 and 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, a tad slower than the 4.29 he had hoped to run.

“It was one of those days,” Maclin said. “That’s why I have pro day on March 5, to make it better.”
