I'm not buying fastest if you're talking straight line speed. Mike Wallace would beat him in a 40, as would some others. ETA: And of course Holliday would beat him in a sprint too.
But he has the shiftiness, and he has one of the best combinations of being able to make moves and maintain top speed. On the 3rd TD run he had of the day, the last one of the 2nd half, two UT players had him penned in at the sideline. At full speed he changed direction and split both defenders, and they barely got a hand on him. It looked like he never broke stride. That's what he does that is more exceptional than most players. It's his ability to make moves at full speed, and it often doesn't even look like he's making a cut.

he doesn't really slow down when cutting, but his straightaway speed isn't the fastest. His acceleration and quickness are outstanding though.
I think there have been faster players on the field (trying not to be a homer but I think Jerious was faster), but he's probably the most electrifying player I've ever seen in an SEC uniform. He's incredible. He's made a fan out of me and I'll definitely root for him in the NFL.
Side note: While watching the UT-UM game this weekend with a friend who doesn't know **** about SEC football, every time McCluster would break a huge run, he'd say, "Damn, look at that guy. What'd you say his name was? Cluster McFuckster?"
