2007 4th Round Draft Pick FB: Le’Ron McClain
A two-time Pro Bowler, McClain is probably best remembered for his amazing 2008 season when he rushed for 902 yards and ten touchdowns. Many forget that he was also a strong lead blocker and could help out in the passing game. McClain became a free agent in 2010 and the Ravens decided to go in another direction as he was relegated to more of a traditional FB role. The Ravens thought they could get a cheaper and more versatile alternative. McClain spent four of his seven NFL seasons in Baltimore.
