They are allowed up to 30 official prospect visits, which they use for a variety of reasons. Some are candidates for the first round and others are Day 2, Day 3 or potential rookie free agents.
A potential Day 3 selection was in for an official visit this past week . They hosted Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan. McClellan is 6-4 and 313 pounds with long 34-inch arms and huge 11-inch hands.
In 2025, he had 48 tackles, six sacks, eight tackles for loss and two tipped passes. He was a two-year starter for Missouri. He has size and length.
