I just think he's got a lot of untapped potential as a punt returner

That hasn't happened yet, but the Chiefs aren't giving up on the idea. This offseason they hired away the Bears' Dave Toub, the special-teams coach who worked with Hester and helped him become one of the all-time greats with 17 career return touchdowns.

And Toub is a fan of McCluster's.
"McCluster is somebody that's very intriguing to me," Toub said. "He can really make you miss, and I just think he's got a lot of untapped potential as a punt returner."
A McCluster revival is just part of what the Chiefs have planned for their return game. They're also looking at rookie running back Knile Davis to return kickoffs, though Davis never brought back a kick in college at Arkansas.
That plan, too, is part of the effort to awaken a long dormant return game. The Chiefs haven't returned a kickoff for a touchdown since 2009 or a punt for a score since McCluster did it in the season-opening game in 2010 against the Chargers.
The Chiefs traded one of their main return specialists from the last couple of seasons, Javier Arenas. They have others working in the mix, including wide receiver Devon Wylie. But for the time being, at least, they appear to have settled on McCluster and Davis.

McCluster, 5 feet 8, 170 pounds, hasn't had many chances to return punts since his rookie season in part to keep him fresh for offensive plays. But the new coaching staff led by Andy Reid doesn't have that idea.
