From the article

For his part, sixth-rounder Claiborne is a genuine "lightning" back, one with 4.37 speed. Not that he's an early-down zero. He rushed for over 900 yards each of the past two years at Wake Forest. Jones himself has called Claiborne "special." Players say a lot of things, but Claiborne is a Day 3 rookie who could actually play, and play early.
