  Football Series: Retired NFL Wide Receiver Jeremy Maclin on Injuries, Recovery, and Physical Therapy

  Sep 15, 202647 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail I'm excited to be joined by former NFL wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Jeremy was one of the most dynamic playmakers of his era, starring at the University of Missouri before being selected in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Over a 10-year NFL career with the Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens, he totaled more than 6,800 receiving yards, 49 touchdowns, and earned two Pro Bowl selections. Throughout his career, Jeremy experienced the highs of competing at the highest level, but he also faced the physical and mental challenges that come with injuries and the demanding process of returning to play. Today, we're going to dive into what that journey was really like from an athlete's perspective—what helped him through rehab, what he valued most in the physical therapists and medical staff he worked with, and what healthcare professionals can learn from working with elite athletes. Whether you're a physical therapist, athletic trainer, healthcare provider, student, athlete, or just a football fan, I think you're going to take away some valuable insights from this conversation.
