Rating Jadeveon Clowney: Madden NFL 15

This guy is simply a FREAK OF NATURE. Standing at 6'6 270lbs, he runs just as fast as the average running back. In college , Jadeveon had 24 sacks in three years at South Carolina, where he made a name for himself.


Jadeveon Clowney is projected to be the number 1 draft pick by the Houston Texans. Funny thing is Clowney would not be the Texans number 1 need. The Texans are in need of  a quarterback, in which there are 3 projected to go in the first round (Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater, and Blake Bortles).

STRENGHTS
Jadeveon has the potential to be everything that an NFL Team would and more from a defensive end. Jadeveon possesses the ability to drive through offensive linemen with his strength. With his large frame and long wing span, Clowney can also deflect alot of passes that quarterbacks throw along the line of scrimmage. When one-on-one with an offensive linemen, he has the speed to run right around offensive linemen.

WEAKNESS
The major concern that teams have with Clowney is his "work ethic". In the past he has shown signs of possibliy not going the extra mile, which is something that every great player must do. In college, he did not play the last few regular season games in his college career to aviod aggrevating an injury even more. While working out for South Carolina , he initially stated that he was only working out there and not for any teams. Examples such as these do raise questions as to whether or not he would do the same in the NFL.

Overall, this guy has the potentail to become one of the greatest defensive ends ever. Guys with his size and athletic ability just don't come around that often. My Madden rating for Jadeveon Clowney is: 79.
