McCluster says he’ll play anywhere

My favorite college football player to watch, Ole Miss scatback Dexter McCluster, is at the Combine and is pleasantly surprised. Some teams are talking to him about running back.

“Which I love,” McCluster said. Some teams want the smallish McCluster to be a wide receiver; 190-pound running backs don’t last in the NFL.

But McCluster is a special talent, as Oklahoma State fans know from the Cotton Bowl. He said he’s comfortable at running back or wide receiver. “I tell ‘em all the same thing,” McCluster said. “Punt return, kick return, gunner (on punts). It’s going to help me do a lot of different things.”
