Maclin was the third receiver to be selected in the draft, behind Darrius Heyward-Bey, who went seventh overall to the Oakland Raiders, and Michael Crabtree, who went tenth overall to the San Francisco 49ers.{{Cite web |title=2009 NFL Draft Listing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2009/draft.htm |access-date=August 30, 2018 |website=Pro Football Reference |language=en}}

On December 27, 2009, in a home game against the Denver Broncos and with the score tied 27–27, Maclin made a decisive catch on the sideline to extend a crucial late drive for the Eagles. McNabb threw a tight spiral to the sideline and Maclin caught it while toeing the line. Initially the catch was ruled incomplete, but upon further review was ruled a catch and first down. Three plays later, Eagles kicker David Akers kicked the game-winning field goal, sealing victory for Philadelphia by a score of 30–27.{{Cite web |date=December 27, 2009 |title=David Akers' field goal leads Eagles past Denver |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2009/12/27/david-akers-field-goal-leads-eagles-past-denver/ |access-date=August 30, 2018 |website=The Denver Post |language=en-US |agency=Associated Press}} Maclin finished with 6 catches for 92 yards.

The Chiefs, who had gone 11–5 after winning 10 straight, advanced to the playoffs. In a 30–0 shutout of the Houston Texans, Maclin started out slow, but started to get into a rhythm in the 3rd quarter, with 3 catches for 29 yards, before he suffered a high ankle sprain that kept him out for the rest of the game. Maclin, who many thought wouldn't play at all against the New England Patriots in the divisional round, was listed as active, but he played very limited snaps and was taken out almost entirely after the first half, finishing with 2 catches on 3 targets for 23 yards.

Maclin was ranked as the 93rd best player in the NFL by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016.{{Cite web |title=2016 NFL Top 100 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/2016-nfl-top-100.htm |access-date=October 26, 2022 |website=Pro Football Reference |language=en}}
