McClellan was a sixth round pick out of Alabama in 2024, and did not get much playing time besides weeks seven and eight in his rookie season. He finished with 13 rushes for 32 yards in his Falcons tenure.
Corbin just had a standout season with the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL, where he led the league in rushing yards with 514 and finished with 4 touchdowns. He played with the New York Giants in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, where he ran for a yard, and caught 3 passed for 12 yards,

The Falcons have been making moves in different ways all offseason, and this one may not be monumental, but it can help out the depth in the running back position. McClellan has potential and can join a new team soon, while the Falcons are hoping Corbin can jump in behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.
This signing of Corbin can open up some competition for the third running back spot, and he can open up some eyes through training camp. He also looks to be on a roster for the first time since 2023.
The Falcons have been in a lot of rumors revolving players like Kyle Pitts and Kirk Cousins, so a small move like this will not make any waves. It is, however, a small move that can lead to others.
The Falcons will continue to make small moves, until a potential big move is made, and more news will come out over the next few weeks.
