Buccaneers signing former Falcons RB
The post Buccaneers signing former Falcons RB appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot on the line in 2025. The team is going for its fifth straight NFC South title. They want to make it even deeper in the postseason, having lost in the Divisional and Wild Card rounds, respectively, in each of the last two seasons. As the team continues their preparation for the upcoming regular season, ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported on X (formerly Twitter) that the Buccaneers have signed former Atlanta Falcons running back Jase McClellan. 'Buccaneers are signing former Falcons RB Jase McClellan, a 2024 sixth-round pick,' reported Schefter Monday. While it's unlikely that McClellan will have a big impact at first, it's possible that he could receive more carries as the season progresses. First though, he'll need to make the active roster. Bucky Irving enters the season as the Bucs' top back. Rachaad White, who teamed with Irving to give Tampa Bay one of the NFL's most productive running back tandems, is currently nursing an injury. Offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard also has Sean Tucker at his disposal as well. Can McClellan make a name for himself in the Buccaneers' backfield? Or will he stay buried on the depth chart? Buccaneers running back room gets even deeper with new addition Big things are expected from Irving in year two, and the former Oregon Duck is eager to improve on an impressive rookie campaign. When White comes back from his current injury, he's likely to return to his pass catching role. There's been many times in the past where the Buccaneers have lined up him as a receiver, and it could happen even more under Grizzard in 2025. With the Bucs looking to make an even deeper run in 2025, it will need all hands on deck. That could include Tucker and McClellan as well. The former Falcon was a standout during his time with the Alabama Crimson Tide and is looking to make his mark in the NFL. While he didn't receive too many chances with Atlanta, he did show a few flashes. Can the Buccaneers translate those flashes into production? If so, then getting past the divisional round in next year's playoffs might be a little easier.

Ex-Falcons running back signing with NFC South rivals
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to sign former Atlanta Falcons running back Jase McCellan, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. McClellan, a standout at Alabama, was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Falcons. As a rookie, McClellan appeared in two games, rushing for 32 yards on 13 attempts. While he didn't get much playing time behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, McClellan showed some promise in the 2024 preseason. He led the Falcons with 55 rushing yards on 11 carries against the Baltimore Ravens. Atlanta released McClellan in June and signed former UFL star Jashaun Corbin as a replacement. In Friday's preseason opener, the Falcons running game was unable to find any room. Corbin made his team debut and rushed for just one yard on one carry. McClellan, 23, is a decent dual-threat option, showing some ability to catch the ball out of the backfield at Alabama. The Buccaneers have decent running back depth, so it'll be interesting to see if he makes the 53-man roster. Tampa Bay has been the class of the NFC South in recent years. If McClellan ends up doing well with the Buccaneers, he'll get to face his former team twice a year, starting in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. The Falcons signed veteran center Jake Hanson and safety Ronnie Harrison to their 90-man roster on Monday afternoon.

Falcons sign RB Jashaun Corbin, release former sixth-round pick
On Tuesday, the Atlanta Falcons signed running back Jashaun Corbin and released former sixth-round pick Jase McClellan in a corresponding move. Corbin led the UFL with 514 rushing yards for the San Antonio Brahmas last season. After entering the league as an undrafted free agent, the 24-year-old appeared in six games for the New York Giants in 2023. Corbin has one career rushing yard on one attempt, and 12 receiving yards on three catches in the NFL. Advertisement Still, the Falcons felt strong enough about the UFL standout to move on from McClellan, who looked good in the 2024 preseason. The former Alabama running back led Atlanta in rushing in two of the team's three preseason games. McClellan rushed for 30 yards in the opener against the Miami Dolphins and 55 yards the following week against the Baltimore Ravens. However, the rookie only appeared in two games during the 2024 regular season, rushing for 32 yards on 13 carries.
