3rd-Round Packers Pick with Elite 2025 DT Dominance
Chris McClellan is no longer a college athlete; he was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 3rd round (77th overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft and signed on May 1, 2026[4][6]. His college differentiator was elite interior pass rush: as a Missouri junior in 2025, he started all 13 games, posting 48 tackles, 6.0 sacks, 8.0 tackles for loss, and 20 total pressures[2][7]. A four-star prospect who transferred from Florida to Missouri for 2024, McClellan combines a massive 6'3", 320-lb frame with high-intensity, active hands that generate consistent QB disruption[1][5]. For a team needing a physical, sack-producing defensive tackle who plays with relentless intensity, he is an immediate, high-upside fit at the NFL level.
