As a former sixth overall selection back in 2012, it’s safe to say that Morris Claiborne‘s career hasn’t necessarily gone according to plan.
This isn’t to say that the 28-year-old cornerback hasn’t carved out a solid role for himself and become a quality player in the league. But there’s no denying that injuries and setbacks have held Claiborne back from reaching his true potential to this point.
When healthy, there’s a legitimate case for Claiborne to be considered a true number one cornerback. Through the first eight games of this season, the former Dallas Cowboy was on top of his game and playing the best ball of his career before a foot injury hampered his performance for the rest of the year.
