During a breakthrough season, Jadeveon Clowney made a successful transition from outside linebacker to defensive end.
Although Clowney lined up at several positions, he did most of his damage to opposing offenses as a traditional defensive lineman out of a three-point stance.
Clowney transformed his reputation from an injury-prone disappointing former top overall pick into a disruptive run-stopper and pass rusher. He was named to his first Pro Bowl and is now ranked 49th on the NFL Network list of top 100 players.
It was an impressive enough star turn that Texans defensive line coach Anthony Weaver told Clowney he has the potential to be a gold-jacket player one day.
