Jadeveon Clowney primed to be face of Texans’ defense in 2017

Jadeveon Clowney was expected to live up to being the first overall pick when he was drafted two years ago. He was supposed to destroy opposing running backs the way he did against the University of Michigan during the Outback Bowl. A moment that garnered the infatuation of the an entire nation.

Clowney was supposed to be unstoppable with his size, strength, and blazing 4.47 forty-yard dash time. The former Gamecock star was supposed to not be human.

Then Clowney showed his human side.

Clowney got hurt. Then he recovered. Then he was hurt again.
