Morris Claiborne

NFL First-Round Pick · Jim Thorpe Award Winner · Super Bowl Champion

Morris Claiborne developed from a high school athlete in Shreveport, Louisiana, into one of the most accomplished defensive backs in college football. At LSU, he earned consensus All-American honors and won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back.

He was selected sixth overall in the NFL Draft and went on to play nine professional seasons, competing at the highest level of the sport and earning a Super Bowl championship along the way.

As F3 Flag's Director of Coaches, Morris sets the standard for how every athlete in the program is developed. He brings athletes a firsthand understanding of defensive technique, preparation, competitive discipline, film study, movement, and the small details that separate good players from great ones — translated into instruction that female flag football players can apply immediately.

Areas of emphasis

  • Defensive back technique
  • Coverage fundamentals
  • Ball skills

What athletes learn from Morris

F3 athletes working with Morris develop the footwork, leverage, and body positioning that define elite defensive back play, along with the professional preparation habits — film study, competitive routine, and attention to detail — that made a nine-season NFL career possible.
