FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Linebacker Shea McClellin, a 2012 first-round pick of the Chicago Bears who won a Super Bowl championship with the New England Patriots in 2016, said he isn't officially retiring from the NFL but is prepared to have played his last game because of the cumulative effect of concussions.
"I'm still staying ready, still working out. I've learned to never say never, there's always a chance that I could still play again, but for now all my focus is on coaching high school," said the 28-year-old McClellin, who has accepted a position as linebackers coach at Mountain View High School in Meridian, Idaho.
