The Analysis

What is scary about how big McClain is that he will get bigger. His massive 300-plus pound frame actually affords him room to grow. His size and power are two of his main strengths. Once this young lineman gets his hands on defenders they normally go for a ride. His solid hand technique and quick feet allow him to swing and move well once engaged with defenders.

His motor is always running, as are his feet. He carries his weight well using those active feet to recover nicely from mistakes. Those mistakes come primarily with speedy edge pass-rushers. He has trouble opening his stance up and giving the outside to defensive ends.

One great thing about McClain’s weaknesses is that there is a concerted effort on his part to address mistakes. This means he is studying his game and working hard to improve.
