Wow! For the Bills to give up on a early first rounder after 2 seasons, must have been a really inept player. Is there any hope of a reclamation of his career? Jarvin Moss is just starting to put it together as an early Bronco's washout for the Raiders. I'd like to get Jene Bremel's opinion on him. I remember the strong draft buzz around Maybin on draft day. Looked like a beast in his highlights.

huge PSU fan, and i just didn't get the draft hype around him coming out. fast enough that his outside speed rush worked in college, but not against big time tackles. and he had no other moves. certainly couldn't play the run. Mike Mamula, only not even that good
i hadn't followed him much. did they try to make a LB out of him?

For reference, he weighed in just 6 pounds heavier than Buffalo's kicker this season.
The sad thing, is that the rest of that draft wasn't all that bad. But that pick was horrendous. Orakpo and Matthews going after Maybin just makes it hurt even more.
The only shock to me is that the Bills didn't just cut him this offseason.

Bills had the worst defense in the NFL last year, and Maybin couldn't even get on the field...he was a healthy scratch for 5 games, and barely soiled his uniform in the others. I agree that he should have been cut before training camp. I give him zero chance of being picked up by somebody else.

Still better than Gholston.
how so?
this is kinda funny for me. There's a local kid that got a chance to play with the Bills this summer and almost pray for a spot. His named is TJ Langley. He was a TE at Arkansas Tech and is playing DE some for the Bills. I thought he'd be cut already, asked a friend who said he's been doing better than Maybin. This thread, puts that back into perspective. Inadvertent Thanks Aaron

Because the Jets took Gholston even earlier and paid him even more money.
Jets seem to be doing alright. Back to back AFC Championships? Bills haven't sniffed the playoffs in a decade.

Won't argue with that, but we were comparing players not teams, Rud.Both stink, but you may be on the right side of this if Maybin never signs with another club. Gholston has the measurables going for him, at least.

I know. I just have a hard time imagining that there's a player out there any worse than Maybin. Sure, he wasn't picked as high but he looks pretty useless.Re: Gholston, I recall everyone thinking there was a dropoff in talent after him in that draft class. He was considered to be among the elite players so while it was a bust of a pick for the Jets, it was one that many other teams probably would have made as well if they were drafting from a similar spot in the draft.Re: Maybin, the Bills passed up a player like Orakpo who seemed like the clearly better choice to just about anyone but the Bills. Maybin supposedly had a quick first step but did not have the measurables to really project as the 4-3 DE they were drafting him to become.

Looks like Maybin won't be getting the chance to go up against the Bills twice a year now unless New England or Miami is dumb enough to sign him.
And didn't Rex Ryan really hype up their pickup of Maybin and say that he was a good player?

he made their initial 53-man roster. seems like they might bring him back at some point.

As a Bills fan, I hope the Jets do.
