5 things to know about Morris Claiborne, Jets' new cornerback

Now that the Jets have signed cornerback Morris Claiborne, a free agent from the Cowboys, here are five things to know about him.

He hasn't lived up to his draft status. The Cowboys drafted him sixth overall out of LSU in 2012. He has just four career interceptions, but was playing well last season before a groin injury (sports hernia) limited him to seven games. Overall, he simply hasn't produced like a No. 6 overall pick should. He has 26 career passes defended. His stats last season: one interception and five passes defended.
