Morris Claiborne from LSU stated he wants to follow in the footsteps of fellow LSU CB Patrick Peterson and if he does there is no doubt he will be off to a stellar NFL career.
Claiborne is ranked as the top cornerback in the 2012 NFL draft and a potential top-five selection.
When asked what makes him such a star at the NFL Combine he stated his speed helps separate him from other top corners but his technique is what makes him different.
