The full breakdown

McClellan's 56.7 grade was weighed down by consistent run defense breakdowns, particularly getting reached or pinned by Atlanta's center on zone concepts at Q2 07:46, Q3 08:37, and Q3 00:28. He also gave up ground to double teams, getting displaced off the ball at Q1 12:33 and driven off the line at Q3 07:56. While he generated positive plays by shedding a double team for a stop at Q1 11:52 and drawing a holding penalty at Q3 00:55, his gap discipline was too erratic. His pass rush offered little relief across six snaps, including being quickly handled at Q2 03:42.

Strengths
