Aaron Maybin was the 11th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, but he was a complete bust in Buffalo and was cut after 2 years and no sacks. 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.
