Tennessee Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt has claimed that he could decide to play new signing Dexter McCluster as a running back as he believes that he has the required qualities for the role.
McCluster agreed a three-year contract on Tuesday, and while the player himself is happy to fill in where required his coach thinks that his future lies with the football in hand and not as a wide receiver.
"He has a body of work for four years now that you have evidence of what he can do," Whisenhunt told The Tennessean. "He has lined up in the backfield and had success, he's lined up in the slot and had success.
"He's been a very good returner in the league. Those are three pretty strong components of a resume right there. I know he is versed in all of those things, and how he fits specifically... we'll see."
Whisenhunt took over the Titans in January having previously been offensive coordinator with the San Diego Chargers.
