Aaron Maybin was waived by the Buffalo Bills on Monday afternoon, the team announced.
Maybin was taken with the 11th overall pick in the 2009 draft. Up to this point, he's been a pretty unproductive football player and a large blemish on both the Bills draft history as well as their roster.
If there was ever any debate about him being a tremendous bust, well, that debate is over right now, regardless of what happens the rest of his career.
Also Google, would like to weigh in, before we continue with said debate:
And, as we know, Google doesn't lie. Neither do the stats -- in two years with Buffalo, the Penn State product has recorded exactly zero sacks, one forced fumble and logged 15 tackles in 27 games.
That Maybin was let go now is actually a good thing, though. Buffalo is acknowledging a clear-cut indication to move forward with the franchise and not dwell on past (although not-too-distant) mistakes.
Maybin's been completely embarrassing as a football player thus far in his career, but that doesn't mean he won't latch on somewhere. As we've seen with Vernon Gholston -- and many others before him -- there's ample availability for second chances in the NFL.
Just for fun, here's the next ten players that were taken after the Bills nabbed Maybin: Knowshon Moreno, Brian Orakpo, Malcolm Jenkins, Brian Cushing, Larry English, Josh Freeman, Robert Ayers, Jeremy Maclin, Brandon Pettigrew and Alex Mack.Comment -
