Gilmore physically tested better than Claiborne in every area He was faster, jumped higher, cones and shuttle time all better,Close but ....
Edge Gilmore Career Performace Wise: Claiborne has more 11 ints to Gilmore 7ints, but Gilmore has 4 Forced Fumbles to Claiborne Zero, Both have 23 Pass Deflected, But While Gilmore has 7sack and 15 tackles for loss....Claiborne has 0 zero and 2 tackles for loss .... *Note Scheme has alot to due with Sacks, Tackles for Loss and Clainborne only played really 2 year BUT He played on a better all around team, and a much better Defense ....so Slight Edge Gilmore
Overall Game Impact: I didnt watch enough of them in college to measure their overall game impact and highlights are called highlights for a reason. I Pulled Footage From 2010 Both Mostly Verse Cam Newton at Auburn and other opponents they both faced ( see Below for Videos)
If I wanted to be a complete Homer, I'd call it a Draw, but Slight Edge Claiborne.
Truth is I always thought they were very even coming into the draft, I believe LSU overall team boosted Claiborne ahead of Gilmore. But Talent-Wise, If Gilmore came out next year barring injuries he would have been likely the first DB in next years draft.
Overall im very happy with Gilmore, and time will tell who is better
Claiborne Highlights -
Stephon Gilmore -
