OT - Highlights - Jadaveon Clowney
For those of you who haven't seen the highlights of Clowney, they are sick. He looks like a created player on Madden.
Check it out.

I'd never watched that before and I literally laughed out loud when I saw the first play. He is about 5 inches taller and 100 pounds heavier than anyone he is playing against. Plus, he's the fastest, what a monster.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:49 AM ^
He looked like a cheetah chasing down a zebra on that first play.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:42 AM ^
It was disgusting how he totally annihilated that kid at 3:21. I felt sorry for the kid. I'm just gonna imaging that kid is TP to help me feel better. Still, I might have nightmares tonight.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:03 AM ^
Can you imagine being a teenage quarterback or o-lineman that's going up against him? Hell, can you imagine how scared their parents must have been! If this kid was from Michigan, the MHSAA would probably consider banning him or make him play two-hand touch.

maybe if one of the opposing teams qb's could handle a damn snap. Seriously like the first ten plays were all fumbled snaps. I'd like to know how competitive the league he plays in is. From the looks of it, its not very good.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
is some person on a Bodybuilding board pre-tending to be him. I asked him where is going and he said, "MICHIGAN". I saw him play and he is a true freak. I am hopeing that he stays in state but you never know when it comes to Saban.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:02 AM ^
The guy is 6'6'', 250 lbs. and runs a fast 4.6. Most high school QBs would be crapping themselves if they saw him across the line of scrimmage from them. Hence the reason they can't handle a damn snap.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:37 AM ^
Doesn't help that the O-Line's are pretty terrible as well (see 6:11).
February 6th, 2011 at 6:52 AM ^
Southe Point is a 3A school, so some of the competition isn't that great. But they play a lot of good 4A teams as well. The I-85 corridor of SC is getting a lot of notice nationally, and some of the better schools were on South Pointe's schedule this year. They did not play the national powerhouses like Byrnes High School (see Marcus Lattimore), but along with some mediocrity they also played some pretty good larger schools.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:07 AM ^
he could play LB, DE, TE, FB, RB or WR and still be better than most.
February 6th, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
I'm sure he could be better than Armpunt Pryor.

The create-a-player tag for him is so apt. We've all made a 6'9" foot dude with 0 percent body fat, who has 4.0 speed, can bench press 225 80 times, and has hands of glue just to giggle at what he'd look like on the field. And it looks A LOT like Jadaveon Clowney. Kid might be NFL-ready right now.
Hope he goes to South Carolina. Bama with him just wouldn't be fair.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:29 AM ^
Normally saying a high schooler is NFL ready is complete insanity, but Adam Schefter tweeted a couple weeks ago an NFL GM told him they would draft Clowney right now.
February 6th, 2011 at 2:41 AM ^
is Al Davis
February 6th, 2011 at 8:56 AM ^
Nfl field he would face five guys a week just like him.
February 6th, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
and definitely not polished enough, but can you name 5 other nfl defensive ends who are bigger than 6' 6" 260 and have that kind of speed and athleticism?
i can only think of mario williams and jason pierre-paul...
February 6th, 2011 at 8:23 AM ^
I think we read the same thing. There were some other tweets thrown around like "I'd give up my 1st round draft picks for five years to get this kid" and "The most physically impressive defensive player I've ever seen"
February 6th, 2011 at 6:54 AM ^
Everybody down here thinks he is going to Carolina, although he has recently asked to take a visit to Clemson, so the Tiger fans are starting to hope.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:38 AM ^
He's got size, speed and power, but what I like almost more than anything is how relentless he is. On half of those highlights it looks like he's out of the play but he just keeps going and runs people down from behind. Very impressive. Must be well-coached in addition to being a physical freak. I wish UM could have had D-Line backside pursuit like that this year.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:50 AM ^
does he always end up with the ball in his hands?
February 6th, 2011 at 2:22 AM ^
I've been literally sitting here with my jaw dropped for ten minutes.
I hardly ever watch high school recruit highlight films, but this... I've never seen anything like this. Man amongst boys.
February 6th, 2011 at 3:29 AM ^
Someone had earlier commented on him as a 'genetic freak' in a different thread. I can't agree more. Sadly, barring a true miracle, this kid will end up in the SEC [sigh].
February 6th, 2011 at 6:55 AM ^
I certainly hope he does, since his only Big Ten school of interest is Ohio State.
February 6th, 2011 at 8:39 AM ^
I loved watching his tape, but does anyone think we have even the slightest shot at getting this guy? Maybe if GMAT can work some magic with our defense we will get a good look from a lot of guys who wouldn't normally even have us on their radar.
February 6th, 2011 at 8:52 AM ^
We don't have a chance. Just pray that we never have to see him line up across from any winged helmets in college.
February 6th, 2011 at 8:55 AM ^
Lebron james playing football.
February 6th, 2011 at 9:18 AM ^
that this was ON topic.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:22 AM ^
It's like someone gave a bear steroids and put him in rocket shoes. That's just absurd.
February 6th, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^
i can't stop laughing. I'm sorry, but those other kids have to be horrible, there's no way he can be that good. I know nothing of the situation, and someone mentioned he's playing against decent teams. I wonder if any of those decent teams are involved in this film.
Kid's a beast for sure no matter what, but this is just ridiculous.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:23 PM ^
I think the winged helmet suits him just fine...
February 6th, 2011 at 2:21 PM ^
I have to admit that he looks great in the winged helmet.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
.....in that highlight film. I did, however, watch a game of Southpointe's against Spartanburg and he wasn't nearly as dominant in that game although he still showed as the best player on the field. I believe it was because Spartanburg had a couple of good-sized college prospects on the line.
Most of the kids he's up against in that highlight video are just way smaller than he is. I believe he will be one of the best players in college during his time in school though, even playing on the D side of the ball. If SC gets him, that's fine. I just hope it isn't Alabama.
February 7th, 2011 at 7:46 AM ^
Jesus.
<br>
<br>He's like Ndomakong Suh, except dominant.
<br>
<br>I hope we never have to play him.
