OK. Well that's different than what they had on the NFL Network coverage where they listed him as safety, I just checked it since I still have the draft shows. And I listened to the in-house announcement for what they told his position was, but they only announced him as a defensive back.
But then when they show some game clips on him, where they highlight him on the field before the snap, the small photo of him has "CB" on the lower left corner along with his name. So, go figure. I haven't watched the ESPN coverage personally, so I didn't know there was a difference. |

He played CB at Samford but most "experts" projected him at safety in the NFL, probably because of the 4.55 40 yard dash.

Well, he ran a 4.39 in the 40 yard dash on his Pro Day at Samford, which was a significant improvement over the combine result of 4.55.
Of course you can't really compare Pro Day results with Combine results, but that 4.39 would've been the 3rd fastest time among all defensive backs, so he does have some speed to him. And Claiborne ran a 4.50 in the combine being the 10th fastest defensive back, so there was only a 0.05 difference between him and White in that regard.

Yeah, but the positives are pretty good too:
And his vertical leaping ability seems to be one of his strong suits - the height of it but also the timing of the jump accompanied with the assessment of the trajectory of the ball. |

If you ask me, I wish more "higher level" draftees had such characteristics to go along with their supposed talent... and yes, I'm looking at you Ellis. |
