Le’Ron McClain FB
Le’Ron McClain FB 6' 265 Alabama
By: Robert Davis
McClain was not used as much of a rushing threat during his career, as he has just 37 carries in his career. He was utilized quite a bit as a receiver though. As a sophomore in 2004, he caught eight passes for 55 yards and three touchdowns. As a junior, he hauled in 18 balls for 140 yards and two touchdowns. In 2006, McClain had 19 receptions for 166 yards and three touchdowns.
McClain is a built like a tank. He isn’t really short, but he has a massive frame, topping 260 pounds. He is a load to bring down in short yardage situations because of his girth and power. As a blocker, he shows the ability to pick up a defender and seal off the hole for his RB. McClain’s best asset is his ability out of the backfield as a receiver. He shows soft hands and could provide quite a boost as a outlet receiver.
Although he is tough to bring down, he is not a great rushing threat. He lacks the speed and quickness to hit a hole, and in the NFL, will not be able to just steamroll defenders to pick up the yardage.
McClain is a solid fullback prospect. He doesn’t have very good agility or speed, but he is a load and has excellent hands out of the backfield. He’s only a day two prospect, but he could provide a role as a receiver and blocker in the NFL.

Pos:
Well-built lead blocker who is effective as a pass-catcher. Displays power at the point of attack, anchors in pass protection and blocks down well on opponents. Quickly picks up blitzes, slides his feet and squares into opponents. Good vision as a blocker or ball carrier. Solid receiver who extends to make the reception and uses his frame to protect the pass.
Neg:
Showed limited blocking intensity last season. Decelerates at the point of attack, does not give much effort to finish blocks nor does he play to his size. Limited speed and ineffective carrying the ball.
