PRO: The Dallas Cowboys traded up eight spots in the 2012 NFL Draft in order to select the top defensive
player available in Morris Claiborne. In Claiborne, Dallas got the 2011 Jim Thorpe Award winner who proved
himself not only in man coverage, but also with his ability to handle kick return duties. As a rookie, Claiborne
started all 15 games he played, missing one with a concussion, and was seventh on the team with 64 tackles.
His eight pass breakups were good for third, his two fumble recoveries led the team and his lone interception
tied for second. He struggled in his second season as the club played more zone in the Tampa-2
defense, starting seven of the 10 games he played, missing six with a hamstring injury. He finished his shortened
season with 31 tackles, eight deflections, one interception and a fumble recovery. Claiborne got bit by
the injury bug in 2014, rupturing his patella four games in. He spent the season rehabbing the injury and looks
to return to form and make a push to regain his starting role at cornerback in 2015.

the come-from-behind win at St. Louis (9/21). Collected his 100th career tackle in the game.
