Few Bears have gone down as many different paths as Shea McClellin and races are not won before the quarter pole. But McClellin’s conversion to inside linebacker after unsuccessful fits at defensive end and strongside linebacker already has produced results beyond those at his previous two stops.
McClellin currently leads the Bears with 29 tackles, matching his entire output from the 2013 season, based on the team’s internal film review. If there is a concern it is that McClellin has yet to make a tackle for loss but he is not alone in that respect.

Linebacker Pernell McPhee and safety Adrian Amos are the only non-linemen to have a tackle for loss through three games.
