Buffalo Bills

On August 21, 2009, Maybin agreed to a five-year deal with the Buffalo Bills.[16] He finished the season with 18 tackles and no sacks while playing in all 16 regular season games during his 2009 rookie year.

In his second season, Maybin has been considered a disappointment. Through six games, Maybin has played in only 66 plays, with five tackles and no sacks.[17] He was deactivated as a healthy-scratch for the team's sixth game at Baltimore.[18]

Personal

Maybin was born in Baltimore, MD and attended Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott City, MD.[19]

Maybin was roommates with linebacker Navorro Bowman while at Penn State.[20] He was pursuing a double major in communications and integrative arts.[21][22]

While at Penn State, Maybin spoke frequently by phone with former Nittany Lion linebacker LaVar Arrington. The two first met during Arrington's stint with the Washington Redskins, when Maybin was playing at nearby Mount Hebron High School.[23] Arrington has joked about knowing Maybin "before he had muscles."[23] Arrington now serves as Maybin's manager.[24]

Maybin is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.[citation needed]

Maybin's cousin, Cameron is a MLB outfielder for the San Diego Padres.

Maybin's mother, Connie, died when he was 6 years old from complications during childbirth.[25] His father later remarried, and Maybin has said he considers his stepmother, Violette, to be his mother. "I have never called her my stepmother," Maybin says.[25]

In 2009 Maybin founded Project Mayhem, a charitable organization established to “provide aid, both personal and economic, to help underprivileged and at risk youth to become a one year wonder and cash in on large rookie contracts while never living up to the contract.”[26][27]
