Quote:Jadeveon Clowney: Work ethic criticism was like 'spit in the face'

Talk is cheap. Actions, or in this case lack of actions, speak louder than words.

 

Clowney was getting this criticism during the season and never responded on the field. I honestly don't think he has the mental make up to live up to his potential.

 

It seems like we have been burnt too many times by using our first rd. picks on players with all the physical tools but lacking the mental make up to succeed.

 

I think it will take a slide in the draft for him to be successful. He needs a chip on his shoulder. I don't think his attitude or work ethic will ever change if people keep handing him things on a silver platter which drafting him high would basically be doing.

 

I mean, why would he change? He will have basically already gotten what he wanted without putting in the effort. No need to put in any effort after that.
