Jeremy Maclin is truly one of the nicest guys inside the Eagles’ locker room. Take it from me, someone who is down there on a regular basis.
Maclin is always accommodating and friendly. In fact, I only heard him raise his voice one time and it was after an excruciating road loss — and in response to a rude question from a reporter who had been warned in advance to knock it off.
On Monday night, the wide receiver only enhanced his good guy image when he took to Twitter to post a picture of his brand new puppy.

The leading candidates, per Maclin, came from a fan who suggested the name, “Jace.” Maclin stayed true to his word and offered him tickets to the Eagles-Chargers game.

Maclin, of course, is rehabbing from a torn ACL. He’s expected to miss the entire season and, since he’s in the final year of his rookie deal, there’s a good chance the Eagles won’t bring him back.
Stay classy, J-Mac … and good luck!
