The Breakdown
Clayborn is set to have a tremendous senior season. Excellent against both the run and the pass, Clayborn has it all. He isn’t a speed rusher but knows how to use his hands and has a pretty wide array of pass rush moves. He’s versatile enough to play 4-3 defensive end in the NFL but could possibly play the 5-technique as well.
