Jeremy Maclin and the Philadelphia Eagles played their 3rd preseason game last Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Most of the attention was on Michael Vick, who played in his first game back in the NFL. However, Vick isn’t the only one the fans wanted to see. Everyone has their eyes on this year’s first round draft pick Jeremy Maclin.

Maclin showed something against the Jags. He didn’t find the endzone, but he did grab 4 receptions for 53 yards… and best of all didn’t fumble the ball! Maclin had fumbled once in each of the first two preseason games.

With Kevin Curtis and DeSean Jackson in the mix, I’m not sure if Maclin will get a starting job this season, but he should get plenty of touches, inlcluding punt and kickoff duty. Against the Jags he had one kickoff return for 17 yards and a punt return for -1 yards. Nothing great, but he’s getting reps.
