Jeremy Maclin elected to retire back in March to conclude an unfortunate NFL storyline. Sure, the 30-year-old hadn't played since 2017 as he combated a nagging hamstring injury, but the former Eagles and Chiefs wideout was significantly productive for the Ravens in both 2016 and 2017.

Despite many football fans clamoring for a potential comeback, it would appear that the former Missouri star is sticking to retirement, but will still remain close to his childhood passion.

J-Mac will reportedly join the coaching staff of his alma mater -- Kirkwood High School in Mizzou.

If this news doesn't relieve some of those Sunday scaries, we don't know what will. A series of concussions and leg ailments forced Maclin to prematurely walk away from the game he loved. Now, he's giving back to the community the only way he knows how -- conveying his football wisdom to the adolescents of his hometown.

What a story.

Let's hope Maclin is able to translate his undeniable success in the league to the emerging stars of Kirkwood, MO.
