COLUMBIA (AP) -- Jeremy Maclin is not ready to leave for the NFL yet. But ask him again after a few more games.

Right now, Missouri's standout sophomore is concentrating on helping the 12th-ranked Tigers finish strong.

Maclin says playing in the NFL has been a dream since he was a child and what he's working toward. But he says he'll just have to approach that situation when it comes along.

Maclin was an All-American in his first college season last year, setting an NCAA single-season record for all-purpose yardage by a freshman. He's been every bit as dangerous this season despite the opposition's efforts to avoid him, ranking second in the nation with 198.5 all-purpose yards per game.
