McCluster can serve a role and be productive but he will always be limited by his inability to make people miss. Imo he best chance as being an impact guy is as a slot receiver. Use his quickness to get him open and then get him the ball behind the front 7 of the defense.

This, but in terms of making people miss, he needs coaching. He can absolutely make people miss, but he too often gets cute in how he tries to do it. He needs to be coached to be a smarter runner, which he is not today. He'll never be the kind of runner Jamaal Charles is, but you can see a big difference in how two players attack a defense.

There have been a few times where we saw him use a quick twitch move to juke out a defender. I don't like the garbage spin move or that he gets tackled by a pinky. But he has a tremendous acceleration and ability to change direction (which can also be seen in his outstanding 3-cone combine performance).

The problem is that he doesn't have the vision to avoid contact, and he spins and dances. I am hoping that Reid and staff fix this problem.
