Dexter McCluster

I started taking notice of this kid last year. He is kind of a tweener RB/WR. He's extremely shifty and has great straight line speed but he isn't very bulky. He only weighs about 165lbs so between the tackles really isn't a question...I don't see him being able to fill that role.

However, he's a big time playmaker that because of his measurables could probably be had in the 4th round unless he runs something ridiculous at the combine. No matter what he does, he's not going in the top 2 rounds.

I've never seen a kid THAT SMALL dominate a game like he does. If he could put on some muscle without losing anything you could put him in a Darren Sproles type roll.

Dexter McCluster = Darren Sproles + more speed

Thats who I thought of too but I looked up Sproles and that guy is 190lbs. One thing is for sure...McCluster is going to hit the weight room HARD when he gets to the NFL.

He is actually more comparable to Desean Jackson after thinking about it. Desean is 5'10'' 175. Someone that runs a spread offense is going to get a good pick with McCluster in the 3rd round.

I'm still hoping for a McCoy/Shipley combination.

imo he will be a steal by whoever takes him this year as his size will undoubtably drop him in the draft. he is not going to likely be any more than a 3rd down back if he stays at rb (i doubt i), possible4th wr out of camp, but as a returner or some wildcat variation, his shiftiness will be coveted.

he has been ol miss' best player for 2-3 years now. he just makes plays. i want him as a wr project. he has everything you want for a return guy, and might have the best small wr to learn from in smith. idk if he plays with a chip on his shoulder like smitty, but dexter gets it done.

    • I honestly don’t think he ever will change.  He couldn’t punch his way out of this wet paper bag he created with scissors in his hands.  I think back to the early takes on Jimmy Haslem, the Browns owner.  For that first few years, he couldn’t get out of his own way.  Same poo.  The fans were miserable and were worried he was exactly who David Tepper is now…  and then Haslem took a step back.  He hired football guys and let them make the decisions.  And something clicked…  now, they’ve done some really dumbass stuff since, but they started drafting some gems, developing them, and even went to the playoffs a few years.  Led by Baker, they came damn close for beating the Chiefs in the playoffs.  But I could never see Tepper doing any of that.  He is so damn egotistical and stubborn.  Haslem wasn’t pulling up to restaurants and demanding people change critical signs of him.  Haslem wasn’t throwing drinks on the poors heckling him.  Haslem wasn’t getting in broadcasts with his poo eating grin and calling fans basement dwellers.  He was willing to take a step back and learn.  At minimum, Tepper should’ve been at that stage two or three years in.  And then he forces the Bryce pick.  And then he makes us see it through for a minimum of three years.  It’s clear he still thinks he knows more than anyone else…  and for that reason, this will not turn around under Tepper.  Our only hope is he sells, and he won’t.  He would move the team before he had to sell it just to stick it to this fanbase for telling him about himself.  He’s a fuging douche.  And sadly, because all of the decisions have been and will be so bad from too top to bottom, we won’t ever even accidentally back into the playoffs because we will never have the talent or coaching.  It is fuging groundhogs day for misery as a Panthers fan.
