Draft Rewind 2014: Jadeveon Clowney, Houston Texans

What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about JADEVEON CLOWNEY: South Carolina, 6052 266 4.53. Junior entry. Two-year starter. Played in all 13 games as a freshman. Can turn speed to power. Faster than green grass through a goose and must be game planned for. He looks like the prototype NFL defensive end from his long athletic build to his extra long arm length. If only his flashes were graded you would think he was from another planet. But the whole film is graded and you rarely get the production his physical gifts warrant. Made many plays when he was unblocked. He was on a play count most of the year because of injury. Has an explosive arm-over move that you seldom see. Can completely dominate a portion of a game or can be walled off by a tight end. His 40 tackles, 3 sacks, and 11.5 tackles for loss are underachieving for the rare talent. Has a tendency to play high and gets pushed up the field past the quarterback. Lazy in techniques from hands up on a pass rush to separating from blockers. Needs to work on his endurance. Has some nagging injuries. 2013 stats: 40 T, 11.5 TFL, 3 sacks, 1 FF. OSR:1/43. Top five pick. (A-34 1/2, H-10, BP-21, 10-1.59).
