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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
