They both look like "BEFORE" photo's to me.




Optimism abounded Tuesday as the Bears began their 2014 campaign with a 7:30 a.m. meeting to start their voluntary offseason program.

As the team takes the first steps in its attempt to improve on last season’s 8-8 record, no player exemplifies a new beginning more than Shea McClellin.

The Bears’ 2012 first-round pick recently spent 12 weeks with trainer Scot Prohaska in California. On Monday afternoon, Prohaska published eye-catching pictures of a shirtless McClellin taken before and after their work together.


Not only is McClellin leaner, stronger and faster in preparation for his switch from defensive end to strong-side linebacker, but Prohaska also witnessed in McClellin mental and emotional growth that could prove as valuable as any physical improvement.

“When I see a transformation in a kid’s soul or his heart, that is something,” Prohaska said. “He is a different man now.”

I don't care how bad Shea is, there is nobody on this board who is kicking the ass of an NFL lineman/linebacker.

I don't know about that. If Shea isn't trained to fight I bet a guy like Mr Hernandez could kick his ass.

I agree, now show me an NFL lineman, because that guy isn't one! Which is terrible news for the Bears.

I assume Shea just dropped some weight and is going to be a HS football coach now in Montana until he plays out this contract, gets one more shot with NE and he's done!

He is in the running right now for biggest Bears 1st round bust ever.

Shea has shown 2 plays.

1. Nobody blocks him and he tackles a guy.
2. The other team runs into him, via QB roll out or Running back!

He is the MMA guy right? I could see that. I'll rephrase to nobody on this board who isn't trained in martial arts/MMA is kicking the ass of an NFL player who is not a kicker or punter.

3 of my friends played in the NFL, every single one of them physically much bigger than Shea.

The ones who played College football, much bigger than Shea.

My guy Doug Pennington, Northwestern center, could easily have handled this guy and he didnt even make the NFL.

Awesome!

Not talking about your fancy NFL friends. Talking about people from this board.

Does he look like your idea of an NFL linebacker? I'd give W_Z a good chance to beat his ass in the "after" photo and I'm sure Sini could take him in the "before".

My idea of an NFL linebacker runs around impregnating women and crashing cars. #BEARDOWN

No shit. If you put bigfan, sini and Shea in a lineup I'd have McCallan as my last guess.

for the record, when I meant "Kick His ass" I mean be able to block that 225 pounder.

However, if he would put up his salary (Including signing bonus), I would go for it.

Just the fact that the dicussion is even on is so fucking sad. NFL players are destroyers! This guy is my neighbor!

Yes, this is like porn in GB, but this is a LB!

So the guy on the left is what the Bears saw at the combine and private workouts and thought, " We have
gotta get this guy!" ??

Yeah, it's hard to believe. He's more of a disgusting fatbody than Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. Who the fuck would draft that guy?

couple points

1. dude tried to put on weight and just got fat and now he is back to where he was when they drafted him
2. He's also like 6-4. still a large man. just not roided out like the rest of them.

Looks like he gained weight by eating as opposed to muscle.

Im close to his body type on the left. And I dont get paid to maintain my body.

and still bad!
Here is the guy we didnt take

His supposed physical stats make him bigger than Briggs and Bostic. Let's see what he can do at LB. He couldn't be worse than the shit that was out there last year.

Can't really determine his fitness level in pads. Apples to apples:





Doesn't look like much difference between the two combine pics other than Shea looks like he has the beginnings of a beer gut.

I have no idea what phil angelo saw in this guy. He looks like a guy from a 2nd rate pro wrestling league.

who cares what the guy looks like without pads on? I care about what he can do on the field. This is his last shot. If he can play LB then great, otherwise boot him. I am glad he is working hard in the offseason, but if it does not translate to the field then it is worthless. But he will always hold a special place in my heart for injuring #12

He has very long fingers.

Makes sense. That injury really affected the outcome of the division.
