I’m telling you, his lateral agility is as impressive as his straight line speed. 9-10 games on turf minimum every year. Cheap chunks and house calls.

The second run on this clip. Starts to the left, starts to drift right, then he basically teleports from the A gap to the edge.

What people around the NFL are saying about #Vikings RB Demond Claiborne, @alec_lewis mentioned via @KFAN1003: “I have heard people within the NFL, who work and get paid by teams, say to me that he is like Diet Coke De’Von Achane/Jahmyr Gibbs.”

So help me, guys....why was he available so late? He looks really good. Shifty and super fast. Strong for his size. I don't get why he was still around? Not trying to be a downer at all on this pick, I love it.....just don't get why a talent like this lasted so long.
Overview
Claiborne is a twitched-up, elusive slasher who can turn minimal gains into explosive runs. He's creative in tight quarters, using lateral agility and sudden feet to escape trouble. While willing to run between the tackles, his lack of size and strength limits his effectiveness in that area. His unpredictable nature -- sometimes pulling runs off-track when profit is available -- might frustrate coaches, but it also generates unexpected chunk plays. He projects as a middle-round, change-of-pace option and complementary back who can inject much-needed juice into a dull, predictable running game.
