I wasn't really arguing against McCluster, just wondering. BTW Chris Johnson is 200 lbs. whereas McCluster is only 165. That's a big difference when you are talking about blocking. The fact is, every year dynamic scat backs come out off exciting college careers but don't make the NFL because they can't block. Hence my wonder.

That's the problem with lightweight RB's. trying to make the transition to the next level. They're excellent and exciting players at the college level, but the NFL is a different story and they struggle to fit in. There's more to playing the RB position in the NFL than just running, you have to be able to block also. 165-70 lb. guys are not going to block anybody in the NFL.
