Maclin Is One of Few Weapons in Chiefs Offense

Maclin enjoyed a strong first season in Kansas City last year. He racked up 87 catches for 1,088 yards and eight touchdowns to reinvigorate a dormant Chiefs passing attack. The team hopes that trend continues for the duration of his contract, which runs through 2019, according to Spotrac.

The 28-year-old Missouri product has been durable throughout his career. He appeared in 90 of 96 regular-season games across his first six seasons. The wideout did miss one game during the 2015 campaign because of a concussion. He also battled a high ankle sprain during the playoffs.

Maclin is an important piece of a Chiefs squad that features a limited number of weapons in the passing game, and his return should bring an immediate impact.
