The Packers selected McClellan in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 77th overall.
Analysis:
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.
