ESPND: Audio: Mo Claiborne: I'd love to be 2-way player

[WoodysGirl]

Cowboys (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys) first-round pick Morris Claiborne (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14943/morris-claiborne) recaps his draft experience and talks about growing up a Cowboys fan and his expectations playing in Dallas.

On how he feels about working alongside Miles Austin and Dez Bryant

"I'm very excited to get right in and get around those guys. Try to learn as much as I can learn from the receiver standpoint to the cornerback standpoint and both of those guys are great, big receiver and I'm looking forward to getting some work in with them so they can make me better."

On the possibility of getting some reps as a reciever

"I would love to be a two-way player. If they gave me that chance to be able to go both sides of the ball I'll love it and I won't turn it down. I get in and give it 100 percent."

I could see some situations where having Claiborne in as a WR could be a big help.

As long as it doesn't distract from his CB work, I'm all for a occassional showing at WR.
As we know, he was a WR at LSU before Peterson (and others) talked him into switching over to CB. That's one reason why, unlike many CBs, he has great hands and ball-skills.

Just a stupid media question. He won't get reps at WR.

I agree with you and would not even think about it early on in the season. Late in the season depending on how he is progressing I could see working in a few multiple WR sets that could involve Claiborne.

Just a stupid media question. He won't get reps at WR.I could see working him into a goal line package, if only to confuse defenses.

I like the distraction idea.

Then he can work his way up to Troy Brown type versatility.

Though only if it doesn't become a distraction to his CB duties, of course...
