Claiborne Struggling To Justify Cowboys' High Pick

Nov 25, 2014 5:30 PM

Morris Claiborne was a highly touted pick coming out of LSU, but he has struggled early in his career in coverage with the Dallas Cowboys.

Claiborne allowed six receptions for 139 yards (75 after the catch) against the New York Giants in Week 1.

"While the rest of the Dallas defense played OK, Claiborne was the lone ugly grade, clocking in at -3.0 and looking nothing like the talent the team expected to see when they drafted him," wrote Sam Monson. "For a corner, health can be everything, so Dallas will be hoping that he can gain his full fitness back quickly, and start to show something more befitting of his draft status."
