The Chiefs are committed to using Dexter McCluster as an overall offensive weapon, a season after he was used exclusively as a running back. In his first season, he made seven starts as a rookie, two at running back and five at wide receiver. The Chiefs removed McCluster's "Offensive Weapon" title last offseason, hoping that narrowing his duties as a full-time running back would increase his effectiveness. The switch generated inconsistent results. "We've given Dexter reps at the wide receiver position in this new offense because we feel like he knows how to play running back and we can put him over at running back at any point in time, but we felt like he needed the work at wide receiver," head coach Romeo Crennel explained. "Probably what that will do is open it up for us to be able to use him however and whenever. We need him at whatever position. He's taken to it really well. He's been enthusiastic about it, so that is working out pretty well for us."
