After a six-year NFL career, former Boise State standout Shea McClellin is hanging up the cleats — at least for now — and picking up a whistle.
Mountain View High announced Wednesday that McClellin is joining the Mavericks' staff as a linebackers coach.
"I don't like to pass up good opportunities, and it was a really good one," McClellin said.
McClellin, who spent last year on injured reserve for the New England Patriots, was the No. 19 overall pick by the Chicago Bears in 2012. A Marsing High graduate, he dealt with concussions last season that kept him out as the Patriots lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
