Claiborne struggled particularly down the stretch last season losing the starting position to Orlando Scandrick.

“I’m not accepting anything less than great for myself,” Claiborne said, via the Dallas Morning News. “That’s how I’m approaching my workouts. That’s how I approach practice and walkthroughs.

“There ain’t nothing else to do. I might as well be the best that I can be.”

It has all changed Claiborne’s attitude heading into the 2014 season. If anything, the injuries and struggles are serving as a chip on Claiborne’s shoulder and serving as motivation to prove himself.

“I come into camp thinking I’m ready to work, no matter what it may be,” Claiborne said. “I plan on outworking my competition, if you put it like that.

“I want to stand out. Whatever I have to do, I’m willing to do that.”
