# Chris McClellan

NFL player. Position: **DT**. Team: **GB**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** DT (versatile — also lines up at DE)
- **Team:** GB (Green Bay Packers)
- **College:** Missouri
- **Draft:** 2026, Round 3
- **Physical traits:** 34-inch arms, 11-inch hands

## 2026 Outlook

Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan earned recognition as one of the more pro-ready interior linemen in the 2026 draft, backed by elite physical traits (34-inch arms, 11-inch hands) that show up on film. Green Bay selected him in round 3, and he's exceeded early expectations at OTAs, earning first-team reps at recent practices according to Packers scouts. His versatility playing both defensive tackle and defensive end increases his chances of starting sooner than later. Under new DC Jonathan Gannon (who operates a 3-4 base), McClellan competes with Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse for the starting DT role if Javon Hargrave plays DE, or for the DE role if Hargrave plays DT. He has a real opportunity to win a starting gig in training camp and preseason, and should see meaningful snaps his rookie year (per One Rookie From Every NFL Draft Round Forcing Tough Depth Chart Decisions Already, How Many Packers 2026 Draft Picks Could Be Starting Week 1?).

## Role / Depth Chart

Early first-team reps suggest McClellan will contribute immediately in the Green Bay defensive rotation. Competing for a starting defensive line spot; versatile at DT and DE.
