| Strengths | Gifted speedster with incredible wheels for his height and size. Has nice soft hands. Transitions from receiver to runner very quickly and has the speed and elusiveness to turn a simple short pass into a long touchdown. Does a good job of getting a clean release. Squares his shoulders to the QB nicely, and understands how to react to different coverage techniques (ex. Oklahoma State played inside technique and gave help over the top, so Maclin adjusted and ran short outs and curls instead of fighting for deeper inside routes). Snatches the ball from the air with strong hands and secures it quickly. One of the best collegiate return men in years. Has rare speed and can hit an extra gear when being chased that makes him almost impossible to catch.
|
| Weaknesses | Comes from a spread offense where he rarely faced press coverage and saw lots of one-on-one matchups against inferior defensive backs. Has little experience running more complex route trees. Not very physical, does not get separation well unless he can use his great wheels. Doesn't always look the ball into his hands. More of a dancer than a blocker, but he does that reasonably effectively. Has not shown a propensity to fight for yards by lowering his shoulder.
