He would have to be in every one of them.
He would have to not get tired or hurt doing this.
We could never not use anything but a 3wr formation...
It just isn't going to work out like this....We will probably use a standard 2 wr formation at least 40% of downs 1-3 for one thing.
I could go on but I am hoping you will get the point and give this one up.

You can run a 2-WR set with dual backs and motion McCluster off to the slot, based on the matchup. You can use McCluster as the 2nd RB, which I expect to happen a few years in when Jones is through. You can use McCluster in a 2-TE set with 2 WRs and either run McCluster or motion him out of the backfield from an empty backfield set. You can use him in the wildcat. You're basically giving him slot receiver reps and adding in the capability to run in dual-back sets or as the primary RB when Charles needs a blow.
And I expect he'll return kicks, while Arenas returns punts.
It's not a full-time player. But they'll find a way to get the kid on the field an awful lot.
