FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots and linebacker Shea McClellin have agreed to a three-year contract, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Here are some things to know about McClellin:
First-round pick in 2012. The Bears, under former general manager Phil Emery, selected McClellin with the 19th overall pick of the first round in 2012. Coming out of Boise State, McClellin was considered a bit of a tweener from a position standpoint (defensive end or linebacker?), as he had seven sacks in his senior season and added 12 pounds on his frame from the Senior Bowl to the combine.
