The Falcons are signing sixth-round RB Jase McClellan to a four-year contract, his agency announced.
McClellan, 21, was a four-star recruit in 2020 and the sixth-best running back in the class. He spent all four years at Alabama but wasn’t a consistent starter until 2023 when he led the team in rushing.
The Falcons selected McClellan with the first of their two sixth-round picks at pick No. 186 overall.
McClellan is projected to sign a four-year, $4.214 million contract with Atlanta that includes a $194,368 signing bonus.
He played four seasons at Alabama and recorded 1,981 yards on 355 attempts (5.6 YPC) with 18 touchdowns and caught 40 passes for 409 yards (10.2 YPC) and six receiving touchdowns.
