Former Pro Bowler Dexter McCluster now indoor player

The competitive juices still flow for Dexter McCluster . So he's back to playing pro football — in the National Arena League.

Earlier this month, the former NFL running back and kick returner with three teams following a highly productive college career joined the Massachusetts Pirates of the six-team league. In his first appearance, he scored a touchdown and the Pirates got their second victory after four defeats, taking down the New York Streets 70-51 At the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

"Physically, I wasn't that sore after the game," McCluster says with a laugh.
