http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/players/aaron_maybin/90575 Recent articles about Aaron Maybin en-us According to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, Cincinnati will most likely use newly signed LB Aaron Maybin at strong-side linebacker next season. Maybin, the 11th pick in the 2009 draft,  is looking to revive his career in Cincinnati where head coach Marvin Lewis has a long history of working reclamation projects such as Adam Jones, Thomas Howard  and Vontaze Burfict to name a few. Maybin is set to become a SAM linebacker in a 4-3 defense, lining up against opposing tight ends to then come down to rush off the edge in passing situations. Maybin has been used as a  a 3-4 outside linebacker in both stints with previous teams. He had originally been drafted by the Bills, but was cut after two seasons in which he failed to record even a single sack. After Buffalo, Maybin joined the Jets where he was originally cut, only to be brought back a few weeks later and surprisingly would end up leading the team in sacks and forced fumbles in 2011. He was, however, let go of again during the season a...

Maybin, a 2009 first-round pick of Buffalo out of Penn State, has played for the Bills and Jets, leading the latter in sacks (six) and forced fumbles (four) in 2011. Maybin has appeared in 47 career games, and was released by the Jets Nov. 13 last year. He will count on Cincinnati's active list beginning Feb. 4. The Bengals finished 10-6 last season, and lost to Houston, 19-13, in the AFC playoffs.

Maybin was unproductive this year, registering just one tackle without any sacks on a team desperate for a pass rushing presence. He was inactive for the Jets' game at Seattle on Sunday. The disappointing 2009 first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills was signed by New York last season and revived his career. He was expected to have a larger role this season as an edge pass rusher, but failed to make an impact. The Jets also placed versatile defensive back Isaiah Trufant on injured reserve Monday after he injured a knee against the Seahawks. He was New York's nickel back and also a top performer on special teams.

For now at least.The Jets announced they have waived linebacker Aaron Maybin on Tuesday amid a three-game losing streak. Dubbed at the start of the season as their top pass-rushing threat, Maybin failed to produce a sack in eight games in 2012.He earned that label coming into this season after reviving his career with the Jets -- providing a team-high six sacks and four forced fumbles in thirteen games in Green and White. A former 11th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft...

Maybin has be on the field for 30 total snaps through two games. 24 of these snaps have been pass plays and he has rushed the quarterback on every single one. Unfortunately for the Jets, according to Pro Football Focus, on not a single one of those 24 plays has Maybin pressured the quarterback. Zero sacks, zero hits, zero hurries. Among 3-4 outside linebackers, only Baltimore’s Paul Kruger has participated in more pass rush plays without recording a single pressure.

However, he reinvented himself with the Jets as a situational pass rusher last season, with a team leading 6 sacks, to go with 2 quarterback hits, and 16 quarterback pressures on 197 pass rush snaps, a very good 12.2% pass rush rate as a situational player. The Jets have gotten him to bulk up, after playing last season in the 220s and 230s, in order to be able to play more snaps and get better against the run. However, he struggled in the 240s in Buffalo so the added weight could hurt him. The Jets may find themselves stuck with the same dud from Buffalo and wishing they had allowed Maybin to stay leaner and just focus on getting to the quarterback.

At Jersey Jets Fan, we’ve already noted that Aaron Maybin was an extremely pleasant surprise during the 2011 season. His non-stop motor and determination caused havoc around the quarterback, helping Maybin to rack up a few sacks and forced fumbles. Yet while Maybin enjoyed some success in his first year with the Jets, his small size ultimately limited him to obvious passing down situations. It seems as though Maybin is ready to take on a bigger role with the New York Jets however, and he’s been working towards his new goal this offseason. While Maybin did not adopt Phelps’ famed 12,000 calories-a-day diet, the 24-year-old did try to pack on some pounds entering this season. He said he is eating between 5,000 and 6,000 calories a day to bulk up. Maybin hopes to play around 250 pounds this season after playing last year around 230. “They wanted me to be able to play every down,” Maybin said of the coaches. “Feasibly, [for] somebody that’s 228, 229,...

So while most of his teammates, aside from Joe McKnight, have focused on slimming down, Maybin has bulked up and he has no intentions of letting the...

Maybin has his limitations as a defensive end and pass rusher, but he also has incredible speed and quickness that make him a fun player to watch. Speaking of watching Aaron Maybin, here is an AWESOME 2011 Season Highlight Reel of Maybin put together by “footballman175“. Enjoy the video!

There are no true football drills conducted due to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, but the workouts do serve to see who is in-shape, who’s out of shape and begin to build team chemistry. So far, there isn’t too much notable news coming from the Jets front, most of it is simply draft speculation. However, the Jets did sign Aaron Maybin to a new contract with the completion of his RFA tender. Aaron Maybin’s RFA tender is worth $1.26 million and signifies that he will definitely be back with the New York Jets for the 2012 season. Personally, I’m very excited to see Maybin back with the Jets. He certainly has his limitations as a pass rusher and overall defensive player, but he has a non-stop motor and clear desire to succeed. Watching Aaron Maybin last year, you could see the effort he was putting forth on every ...

If you’re drafted for your pass-rushing skills, that’s a pretty good sign that you’re a bust. But since being picked up by the Jets, Maybin has six sacks in limited playing time. Was he really a bust, or was he simply misused by the Bills? The numbers may say that he was an untapped talent, but a closer look at Maybin’s sacks seems to indicate they are more a function of good coverage than great pass-rushing skills. Of Maybin’s six sacks, only one has been recorded in less than three seconds. Three of them have taken longer than 3.5 seconds. Two of them have come on bootlegs where Maybin eventually ran down quarterbacks as they ran out of room to run at the sideline. Those are closer to sacks of opportunity than a d...

Certainly the biggest name the Jets signed was Plaxico Burres, who has performed admirably after returning from his two year stay in jail. However, the Jets also picked up Aaron “Mayhem” Maybin after the former 1st round draft pick was released by the the Buffalo Bills. Not much was expected of Aaron Maybin after the defensive end failed to record any sacks in his first two years in Buffalo, but he has exceeded expectations with the New York Jets. This all brings up the question, who is the better Jets acquisition of 2011, Plaxico Burress or Aaron Maybin? Let’s start the debate now, and make sure to take the poll after you’ve read the stats. Plaxico Burress: While Plaxico had much higher expectations this season, he has certainly lived up to his former play. Burress has been a valuable weapon in the red-zone, compiling some exce...
