quote:

After the Dallas Cowboys packaged their first two picks to move up to select Claiborne with the No. 6 overall pick, owner/general manager Jerry Jones bragged to anybody who would listen that Deion Sanders was the last cornerback the team gave a higher draft grade. Well, Claiborne did a pretty good Prime Time impersonation in his first few full-contact reps of his third training camp.

Claiborne, a massive disappointment during his first two injury-plagued seasons, showed a physical style and swagger that hadn’t been seen from him since he won the Jim Thorpe Award as a junior at LSU.



quote:

Claiborne made much more colorful statements to Terrance Williams while dominating four consecutive one-on-one reps against the Cowboys’ No. 2 receiver. At one point, Claiborne barked that they had better bring Pro Bowl receiver Dez Bryant over to compete against him. Several of his comments aren't suitable to be printed on a Disney-owned website.


Wasn't all perfect - He gave up a couple of big plays in 7-on-7s, but looks like Mo's headed in the right direction.

Mo will deliver. He's too talented not to. He'll never be what the Cowboys thought he'd be, but he'll be an above average starter in the NFL and that's saying a lot.

I'm so glad we have the full time TD NFL personnel development posters here to give us the inside scoop on who will and won't pan out, make the depth chart etc here to keep us straight.

when he healthy and can play press man to man or bump and run he is in his element. he was very slight and slim when he came out of LSU he has two years to pick his weight up. Hell everybody not going to be deion or Peterson it takes a few years to adjust he should be right on track this year. Hell the Dallas d-line better get some pressure are he and the other dbs will still be left out to dry.

I want Claiborne to succeed for two reasons: He's a Tiger (duh), and to sustain for LSU the reputation that our coaches can evaluate, sign, elevate and then make rich the lower tier Louisiana recruits. The under-the-radar guys usually have a fire in their gut that some (not all--Freak comes to mind, though) higher profile recruits don't have.

Just my .02 cents.
