Clowney is an ideal fit for an attacking 4-3 defense that emphasizes penetrating defensive linemen and allows him to utilize his elite athleticism and explosiveness off the edge.
Year 1 impact pass rusher with the ceiling to be a perennial All-Pro edge defender.
Two-gap 3-4 defense that requires him to consistently hold the point of attack against double teams.
His rare size, speed, and agility make him a scheme-versatile player, but his highest impact will be as an attacking edge rusher in a 4-3.
Selected #1 overall in Round 1 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of South Carolina.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
