Instead, Herron accelerated upfield in a well-executed wheel route, forcing McClellin to turn quickly to his left and pursue. The pass by Cousins was slightly overthrown but it didn't matter. McClellin, with a 6-inch and 36-pound weight advantage over Herron, was in perfect position to defend the throw.

McClellin is a versatile defender and will be most effective moved around by a creative defensive coordinator in the NFL, utilizing his impressive effort and playing speed ? a borderline top-100 draft pick who isn?t flashy and won?t have great work-out numbers, but simply makes plays on the football field.
