    Nice trivia question. I believe the answer is D-lineman Karl Wilson.

    If you're as tall and have the reach of a Morris Claiborne, you're likely not going to be super fast and you don't need to be. The wingspan he has will allow him opportunities in pass coverage that other players simply physically cannot duplicate. This will throw off even pro quarterbacks who will have to study him quite a bit to know what is open against him versus what is open against most shorter corners. His reach will allow him to trail on a guy and yet still make a play on the ball when it is in flight and we saw this quite a bit at LSU as he'd sky for a rebound and snatch the ball out of mid-air. Morris reminds me a lot of Oakland's version of Nnamdi Asomugha who had a brilliant career out west.

    Brockers was stellar at the combine! Saw a great video on youtube about the combine, gave him some great props in it. Maybe some teams higher up in the draft will be taking a second look at him?
