Former Alabama running back Jase McClellan, a 2024 sixth-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons, is staying in the NFC South. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, McClellan's next stop is in Tampa Bay as a Buccaneer. The Falcons released McClellan in mid-June.
McClellan played in two games last season, recording 32 yards on 13 attempts. Atlanta seemingly wasn't enticed enough to give him a look in a second preseason with the team. Instead, he will still have an opportunity to play for a 53-man roster spot, albeit with a new squad.
Bucs running back Rachaad White sustained a groin injury in the team's preseason win against the Tennessee Titans, providing an avenue for McClellan's chance. If the 2020 national champion does enough to stick around, he'll get a shot at revenge against his former team since his new one is a division rival.

“Have a plan, not only for the day, but for the week and the month and the year and ten years from now. Anticipate. Plan. Anticipate every situation that could arise. Don’t think second by second what needs to be done. Have a plan. Follow the plan and you’ll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don’t plan. That’s why it’s so easy to beat most folks.”Paul W. "Bear" Bryant
