Jadaveon Clowney runs the 40

[hacker]

4.47 unofficial

holy shit

[sandwolf]

I saw that.....that is unreal.

Damn, that is insane for a DE. You think he will be picked number 1 after that?
It would be tough for me to take him first because I don't think he has the work ethic to get the most of his abilities

[TheRef]

Number 1? No.
Top 5? I would put money on it.

That's strong. I just have a Jamarcus Russell type feeling to him though. I get the hunch after getting drafted he will get the direct deposit info set up for his millions and then work about as hard as Russell did.

[Westdawg]

well, then he will not get another contract ever.
But, that is FAST. however, it also highlights what EVERYONE was thinking, that he was not living up to his potential that past two years in college

[SignalToNoise]

Think it was just changed to 4.53 official, which is still insane. Good grief. That's faster than Manziel isn't it?

Yep. Dude is a freak. He was NFL ready 2 seasons ago. His Gator Bowl TFL/strip/recovery is one of the most impressive individual 1-on-1 plays I've ever seen.

I think he's still the best player in the draft. The Texans have a bigger need at QB though.

he was an absolute beast in 2012.

his numbers were down in 2013, but i think there were a combination of things happening. 1) all the talk around him sitting out the year from outside sources got into his head and made him paranoid about injury and 2) he was obviously the focal point of every offense (double/triple teams). he's gonna get nitpicked in the interviews and teams are going to do their due diligence on him, so they should have a pretty good idea whether he's coachable or not.

[SheltonChoked]

I disagree. If you put Clowney opposite Watt... It improves your Defense.

I hope the Texans take him or Trade down.

It doesn't matter where he's drafted; if he wants JaMarcus Russell money he's going to have to work for it because rookie contracts aren't worth a whole lot anymore.

I wadn't really talking about Russell type money, i know the rookie contracts aren't as big as they use to be. Dion Jordan went 3rd last year as a DE and got 13mil guaranteed signing bonus, still pretty strong.
