Rochesterfan Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Great CBS spot - nice to see the positives from football - even on guys that did not live up to his potential. He is now doing something meaningful for many others. He is a better fit in the real world than he ever was on the field. ? ???

Kirby Jackson Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Congrats to Aaron Maybin on making a difference. He has gone on to be a great role model for those kids. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It was a really nice story to see and I am glad he is making a difference. All the football highlights they showed were Jets highlights, inguessing becuase there were no Bills ones. He still sucked, but I like him a lot more now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good guy moving on making a difference happy in his own shoes with no unreasonable expectations heaped on him. Was all I was trying to express to the Peterman hangups.. he's a young man that has all the world ahead of him. Played some professional ball now the onus is on him to make an impact on life after football. Or get incredibly better and stay in football lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Great story. He is an impact player in a much bigger way than we hoped. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hats off to Maybin finding his niche which is helping make a positive impact to those young ones—a winner at life even without finding success on the gridiron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Important lesson: judging anyone by a single measure (e.g. "worst bust in NFL history!") is shallow and stupid. People are far more complex, and have far more to give, than just one thing. Except that ***** cheating bastard, Tom Brady. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Definitely a *different* guy. Loved the part where he says "when you are genuinely trying......they know it". Because he wasn't trying in the NFL and it took a while for people to wrap their heads around it because of the way he did it..........but in time the Bills and Jets knew it. I've never seen fake hustle to the degree he took it..........he embellished every routine stalemate block to appear as if he was being hit over the head with a steel chair in a WWF match...........showing no respect for the intelligence of others. All time favorite was that game against the Steelers in Buffalo where he flails around and gets pancaked and lays on the ground with no one around him for 3 seconds waiting for a whistle before he realizes Ben broke contain then gets up to chase him. The NFL is a tough, exploitive biz and most of the players get chewed up and spit out in exchange for their moments of glory..............but it's disrespectful to those that are trying to fake the effort. Also like humility he shows wearing an Aaron Maybin jacket to school. AAM...... too funny. The humble, self-serving civil servant. Glad some kids are benefitting from the comfortable life he's carved out in his nice neighborhood NEAR a bad neighborhood. IMO he's still trying to wear a Big Hat without tending any actual cattle.............but at least it's not at anyone's EXPENSE this time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 did they not bother interviewing kids back then? should have figured out in about 30 seconds he wasn't into it for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on him ? not totally, he wasn't remotely up to playing in the NFL doesn't make him a bad person, that's on the team rating and drafting him so highly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s a great story and he will be a great role model for young people. I wish him a ton of success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Good for him. I have nothing against the guy for not helping the bills. Glad to hear he has found great purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
