Following an impressive senior campaign, former Cincinnati Bearcats running back Charles McClelland will continue his career as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans!
During the recent Pro Day event, McClelland showed off his intriguing ability as a runner and receiver in front of NFL coaches and scouts including Titans head coach Mike Vrabel.
McClelland led the Bearcats with 849 rushing yards and seven touchdowns last season, highlighted by a career-high 179-yard performance against South Florida in October.
There have been nine former Cincinnati players acquired by NFL teams this weekend as Tre Tucker was drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders and Tyler Scott was selected by the Chicago Bears.
