We all know the story. Shea McClellin was drafted 19th in the first round by then-GM Phil Emery. It was kind of a head scratcher for most NFL scouts had Shea pegged for late first or early second round. It wasn’t unlike Emery to reach, which we saw later in Kyle Long. Next the Bears coaching staff did McClellin no favors by moving him from LB to DE. They wanted to utilize his speed as an edge rusher, but the end result? A disaster for both Shea and the team.
