The Chicago Bears will use first-round pick Shea McClellin as their No. 3 defensive end behind Julius Peppers and Israel Idonije, according to the Idaho Statesman.
There’s a good chance that McClellin could eventually supplant Idonije as the starting end opposite of Peppers, but for now they figure to go with a rotation. This means that McClellin should see time as a nickel pass rusher for them next season.
