Honestly, I think McCluster will have a more productive career than Gerhardt. McCluster is more of a jack-of-all-trades while Gerhardt is more of a traditional FB with probably being a goal-line halfback.
Gerhardt's short-shuttle drill was a 4.25, while McCluster’s was at 4.06. The short shuttle never gets the attention it deserves, but running back (or to a degree, a slot receiver) is a position that’s consistently asked to change directions and accelerate out of breaks. One could even make the case that the short shuttle has much more bearing on a prospect’s chances in the NFL than the 40.
Just for shit and giggles, Darren Sproles' shuttle time was 4.15.
