Jaguars 2023 roster review: CB Chris Claybrooks

The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is still off on the horizon. Join us in the NFL’s dead zone with a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.

Chris Claybrooks joined the Jacksonville Jaguars as a raw speedster who provided value as both a cornerback and a return specialist. But three years into his NFL career, Claybrooks has settled into a different role as a valuable special teamer.

While an offseason arrest earned him unwanted attention, Claybrooks has proved to be one of the better gunners in the NFL. That could make his spot on the 53-man roster tough to supplant.

Contract (2023): $1,136,045 base salary, $292,091 prorated signing bonus, $1,428,136 cap hit.

Acquired: Jaguars drafted Claybrooks with the No. 223 overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL draft.

PFF grades:

  • 51.1 (2022)
  • 48.4 (2021)
  • 54.4 (2020)

Statistics:

  • 13 tackles (2022)
  • Two passes defended, one fumble recovery, 29 tackles (2021)
  • Three passes defended, one tackle for loss, 39 tackles (2020)

Highlight:

Quote: “You can make an argument that the gunners on the punt team are the best tandem going in the NFL. Claybrooks, one of the fastest gunners in the NFL, and Daniel Thomas is proven.” – Houston Texans special teams coordinator Frank Ross
