Measurables

5’11” 188, 4.50 40, 33 1/4″ arms, 8 1/2″ hands

Cons–Could add some weight to his frame….not elite speed but still fast…can get unfocused at times allowing a receiver to come at him and then quick move him and get behind him on occasion…willing supporter in run defense, but can be blocked out of the play by bigger good blocking wide receivers…

NFLmocks preseason bio

Morris Claiborne burst on to the scene as a sophomore in 2010 when he led the Tigers with five interceptions and made second team All-SEC. The big test for Claiborne now will be filling the shoes of Patrick Peterson, a player regarded as one of the best defensive prospects to ever come along. Coming out of high school, Claiborne was an “athlete” playing quarterback, receiver, and defensive back in high school, and clearly LSU made the right choice putting him on defense where he broke out as a sophomore. Became a full time starter in 2010 and will be the number one corner, and because of his abilities as a receiver and quarterback knows what to do with the ball in his hands. Could emerge as one of the top cornerback prospects for the class of 2013, and is a candidate to leave early after this season.
