Le’Ron McClain is built to punish opposing defenses. Usually as a bruising fullback running in front of a slick-footed ball carrier.
That was how the Baltimore Ravens used the 6-foot, 260-pounder as a rookie last season. During training camp, however, an injury to Willis McGahee and the addition of fullback Lorenzo Neal enabled offensive coordinator Cam [...]
