My Take
Jadeveon Clowney is, to me, the kind of physical specimen who redefines what a defensive end can be. At 198 cm, the Rock Hill, South Carolina native dominated for the South Carolina Gamecocks, won the Ted Hendricks Award in 2012, and went first overall in the 2014 NFL draft to Houston, where he spent five seasons. What I love is the contradiction in his game: a frame that size is supposed to be slow, yet his explosiveness off the snap is electric. Defensive players rarely become must-watch attractions, but Clowney did, and that rare blend of mass and burst makes him pure football romance.
