There's no way. You can't even outrun a LB with that speed, let alone the entire secondary.
Secondly, 40 time isn't everything. He dominated the short shuttle and was phenomenal at making cuts because he's short and stays low to the ground. We saw with LJ how speed doesn't translate into changing direction or making sudden cuts, two things McCluster does outstandingly well.

It's not a smart pick.
Period.
Lets go ahead and say he is Dante Hall (and that is a high bar to set) he's still a long shot to last 4 years at that size getting consistently pounded by guys 3x his size.
Dominating at the college level and surviving at the pro level are completely different things...
