Jeremy Maclin: Does he make a big difference?

The Kansas City Chiefs did not record a touchdown from a receiver in 2014. You may have heard of this. It was absolutely brutal to watch, and at some times comical. Going into this offseason, general manager John Dorsey had the simple yet challenging task of fixing this group.

Dorsey was aggressive from the outset of free agency, snagging former Philadelphia Eagles receiver and free-agent Jeremy Maclin with a five-year, $55 million deal. Maclin’s arrival was met with much fanfare. By adding the 26-year-old to the mix, Kansas City acquired its best receiver since Otis Taylor. Needless to say, the wait has been extensive.
