The folks over at the Bleacher Report put together a mock interview with Eagles rookie Jeremy Maclin. Below are the fake questions they would ask him. Are there any questions you would like to see added to the list? What do you think some of his answers would be?
Q: How do you foresee your transition from a spread-style offense at Missouri to the West Coast offense run by the Eagles?
Q: DeSean Jackson had a impressive rookie season in 2008. What can you take from his success in trying to have a successful rookie year?
Q: You were projected to be drafted as high as seventh overall to the Oakland Raiders. You fell to 19th. Do you feel any resentment over teams passing you by and does it motivate you to make them regret doing so?
Q: What do you bring to the table to be utilized in this offense?
Q: How does it feel to have the opportunity to play with a quarterback the caliber of Donovan McNabb?
Q: The learning curve for a wide receiver typically lasts into the second season. How quickly do you think you can absorb the offense and execute it efficiently?
Q: Finish this sentence. My ultimate career goal is…

A lot of these questions have already been answered, but this is what I think.
Q1 With time it will all come together for me. Right now it’s working on timing and knowing were to be so I can stay ahead of the play.
Q2 I figure with Desean’s sucsess last year I will at least have the chance to see the ball. I want to prove that I can make the plays so that I can build confidence within the team much like Desaen did, looking at his tapes he made things happen when he cought the ball.
Q3 Ha ha naw I don’t hate, I don’t hate. I had to go sometime… just glad I’m with a contending team.
Q4 Speed. I think the more I learn the system all of us will work well together. It’s going to be hard to keep up with all of us at the same time.
Q5 It’s one of the reasons I didn’t mind falling to 19th. He has taken his team to the superbowl and almost got them there numerous other times. I hope I can be there to get us to that point again.
Q6 It shouldn’t take long. I need to see what it’s like to play at this level with pads on. As far as the routes, I’m coming along well.
Q7 Well, my goal is the superbowl, Rookie of the Year, ESPN magazine, haha actually I just have to take it as it comes. I have confidence that I have the skills to one day make it to the Hall of Fame and see my face next to Jerry Rice.
