Summary
Chris McClellan is a stout interior defender with a high floor as a run defender and a limited ceiling as a pass rusher. In the right scheme, he could develop into an every-down player, but he may otherwise settle into a role-specific rotational spot.
About
- 2025: Missouri defense limited Ty Simpson to 200 passing yards
- 2024-25: Only FBS player weighing 320+ pounds with 8+ sacks and 30+ pressures
Strengths
- Good mass and low center of gravity; difficult for blockers to recover once he gains leverage.
- Draws double teams and shows strong play strength at the point of attack.
- Does a good job stacking and shedding blockers while staying disciplined in his gap.
Weaknesses
- Below-average quickness and change of direction.
- Pass-rush arsenal is limited beyond a bull rush.
- Unlikely to provide much production as a pass rusher.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 5.05 seconds
- Vertical jump: 29.5 inches
- Broad jump: 9 feet, 0 inches

Packers' Chris McClellan: Grabbed by Green Bay
The Packers selected McClellan in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 77th overall.
McClellan transferred to Missouri in 2024 after spending the two prior seasons with Florida, and he emerged as a starter in each of his two years with Mizzou. During his senior year in 2025, he posted 48 tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 13 games. McClellan's 6-foot-4 frame and large hands make him NFL-ready from a physical standpoint, and that showed with his prowess as a run stopper. He has the versatility to line up in zero- and one-technique across the defensive front, though he'll need to be more consistent as a pass rusher to earn more snaps for himself in Green Bay. McClellan figures to work in rotation behind Javon Hargrave with Warren Brinson, among others.
