Shea McClellin has been one of the top performers at Bears training camp and could be one of the team’s biggest surprises this year. We discuss McClellin’s potential at inside linebacker.
The Chicago Bears have been trying for years to find a role for former first rounder Shea McClellin. For two years he toiled as a defensive end before switching to strong-side linebacker in last year’s 4-3 system. Yet the position switch did very little to impress fans, who consider him a first-round bust.
In the new 3-4 defense, McClellin has again shifted positions, this time to inside linebacker.
