Eric DeCosta: 'Rolando McClain deserves another chance'

Baltimore Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta has said that Rolando McClain deserves another chance in the NFL.

The linebacker, who made 62 tackles in 2012, joined the Super Bowl champions last month after being cut by the Oakland Raiders.

DeCosta told the Baltimore Sun: "I think this about McClain, he deserves a second chance.

"If you asked him, he would probably admit to making some mistakes. We think he warrants a second chance."

The 23-year-old has been the subject of numerous off-field matters, and currently faces two pending cases regarding driving charges.
