Maxwell was also a member of the Hamburg Sea Devils, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Florida Tuskers, Seattle Seahawks, and Sacramento Mountain Lions.

As a senior at Pinole Valley High School in Pinole, California, Maxwell caught 42 passes for 866 yards (20.61 yards per reception average) and 13 touchdowns alongside teammate Jack Chu who was devastated with a shoulder injury.

Maxwell suffered a groin injury after practice during the 2008 training camp and was placed on season-ending injured reserve on August 22.

He had stayed after practice to run what he called "the 9 route" and suffered an injury to his groin when leaping too far for a ball.

Maxwell was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 17, 2009, after punter Josh Bidwell was placed on injured reserve.
