Could Calvin Austin Have A Dexter McCluster Role In Steelers’ Offense?

In the 2010 draft, the Chiefs selected shifty running back/wide receiver Dexter McCluster in the second round out of Ole Miss. Standing only 5-foot-8 and 170 pounds, he certainly was not the biggest guy on KC’s roster, but he made his name known right off the bat in his rookie season. The 209 yards receiving he put up wasn’t anything to write home about, but in the return game, it was a different matter. His rookie season, he returned a punt 94 yards to paydirt, while also etching his name in the record books as it was, at the time, the longest in Chiefs’ history before Tyreek Hill’s 95-yarder in the 2016-17 season.
