Following release by Patriots, ex-Boise State star McClellin’s NFL future in limbo | Idaho Statesman

Former Boise State standout Shea McClellin is a free agent again, but it is uncertain if he will join a new team.

The New England Patriots released the six-year veteran linebacker Monday with a failed physical designation. McClellin did not play last season, sidelined by two concussions. He does not know if he will continue to play, saying in a text message to the Idaho Statesman, “medically, I just don’t know if I’ll ever be able to again.”

A first-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 2012 (19th overall), the Marsing High graduate spent the last two seasons with New England, winning Super Bowl LI over the Falcons.
