Former Chiefs and Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin to Coach at His Old High School Following Retirement
By Jerry Trotta
Jeremy Maclin elected to retire back in March to conclude an unfortunate NFL storyline. Sure, the 30-year-old hadn't played since 2017 as he combated a nagging hamstring injury, but the former Eagles and Chiefs wideout was significantly productive for the Ravens in both 2016 and 2017.
Despite many football fans clamoring for a potential comeback, it would appear that the former Missouri star is sticking to retirement, but will still remain close to his childhood passion.
J-Mac will reportedly join the coaching staff of his alma mater -- Kirkwood High School in Mizzou.
If this news doesn't relieve some of those Sunday scaries, we don't know what will. A series of concussions and leg ailments forced Maclin to prematurely walk away from the game he loved. Now, he's giving back to the community the only way he knows how -- conveying his football wisdom to the adolescents of his hometown.
What a story.
Let's hope Maclin is able to translate his undeniable success in the league to the emerging stars of Kirkwood, MO.
