Baltimore Ravens

McClellan was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent after the 2010 NFL draft. McClellan played as the fourth string middle linebacker (Behind Ray Lewis, Jameel McClain, and Dannell Ellerbe). He did not play at all in the 2010 season, but saw limited time the next year. With an injury to Terrell Suggs and the departure of Jarret Johnson to free agency in 2012, McClellan had a chance to compete for a starting outside linebacker spot with Paul Kruger, Courtney Upshaw, and Sergio Kindle. Upshaw appeared to have the edge for most of training camp, but in the third preseason game, McClellan got the start. He would start 11 games during the season, and would record 49 tackles and a sack, both career highs. The Ravens did go on to win Super Bowl XLVII after they beat the San Francisco 49ers 34–31.

On March 9, 2014, McClellan signed a new two-year contract to remain with the Ravens. [5]

McClellan signed a three-year extension to remain with Baltimore on March 1, 2016. [6]

On September 1, 2018, McClellan was released by the Ravens. [9] He was re-signed on September 17, 2018. [10] He was released again on October 30, 2018. [11]
