I'm Aaron Maybin

How do you put in words the past few days? You can't. it's impossible to describe the euphoric state I was launched into when I heard, "and with the 11th pick the Buffalo Bills select Aaron Maybin, Defensive End from Penn State University!" Wow!! Praise God! My dream has been fulfilled and my prayers answered. All those years of practice, weight training, blood sweat and tears; all the sacrifices - it was all worth it! I was surrounded by over 400 family members, friends and well wishers. You ca… Continue

Most people think that after the NFL Combine you just sit back and relax; I know I did. Boy, was I wrong. First and foremost, you've got to continue to do the things that got you there. So I continue my workout regimen. But that is all complicated by team visits. I have been on the road like you wouldn't believe. Over the least 4 days, I have been in four different cities.

So I maintain my focus and discipline. I continue with the same routines that got me where I am today. I can… Continue

Well everybody, I guess it's safe to say that I absolutely crushed my Pro Day! I ran A 4.5 forty, I had a 10'10" broad jump, I had a 40.5" vertical, and I believe I excelled in a my drills and interviews. Every NFL team was represented and I had meetings with many of them. Coming into this process I had several goals. I wanted to answer the weight question. I believe I've done that. I weighed in at the Pro Day at 250 lbs. I can move further up or I can go back down depending on what the team tha… Continue
