Quote:Don't care that much for Clowney. Yeah, he's an athlete, but I'm not sure he's a player. If Teddy goes then we'll have to take a strong look at Manziel, Watkins, or Matthews

 

Clowney is a player....he has shown that.  It will be up to Gus and Dave to talk to him and see what his thought process was for last year.  His lack of the ever important sack numbers last year were not due to lack of ability.  I used to question Clowney's motor but the more I read and watch that questioning has gone away.  The man is a freak.  I questioned JJ Watt's crazy combine numbers because I claimed I didn't see them translate on the field in the Wisconsin games I watched.  While they aren't the exact same player...I see similar results coming.  Clowney is going to blow away everyone else at the combine.  If he is there at 3 the only reason I see Gus and Dave passing on him is if Clowney completely bombs the interviews.  I think Clowney has gotten a bad rap and a lot of it is unjustified.  If he has the "juice" and he's available at 3...they better take him and not look back.  If they don't I think they will end up regretting it because he's going to be a star and the amount of talent and physical ability he has does not come around every year.
