Aaron Maybin was a forgotten man with the Buffalo Bills. After heading into Buffalo with high expectations as a first round pick out of Penn State, Maybin did little to inspire. After two years of sacking nobody, and earning a bad reputation, the Bills let him go.
And go right to the Jets he went, and on to create his “Mayhem”. We all know the havoc he created in 2011, leading the team in sacks with 6, doing so as a part time player.
Here are some highlights to take us back:
The Jets let him loose, and run free he did, to the tune of the aforementioned 6 sacks and 4 forced fumbles. When he got the opportunity, he made the most of it in a big way.
Maybin has bulked up this offseason, trying to make his way into the lineup on all three downs. He will, and he will do so to the tune of 10-15 sacks.
I will talk about why on the next page.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
