"When Jadeveon Clowney entered the league in 2014, he was hailed as a generational talent with a physical profile that seemed engineered in a laboratory. The unquestioned No. 1 overall pick, he went on to play five seasons with the Houston Texans, transforming raw potential into consistent production, earning three consecutive Pro Bowl nods from 2016 to 2018. Across his tenure in Houston, he racked up 29 sacks and over 200 tackles, including a staggering 64 tackles for loss."
"After playing out his rookie deal in Texas, Clowney was traded to Seattle, where he quickly transitioned into one of the league's most overqualified nomads. He played for five different franchises in six years. His struggles to find a permanent home were rarely about a lack of talent but rather a combination of high salary demands and a frustrating injury history, including microfracture knee surgery."
"The Cowboys became the latest team to require his services when they were left scrambling to find pass-rushing help after shipping off Micah Parsons to Green Bay. And to everyone's pleasure, Clowney didn't disappoint. He led the team with 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, providing the consistent edge pressure the team desperately needed. His performance in the season finale against the Giants was particularly legendary, as he tallied three sacks and forced a fumble."
Jadeveon Clowney entered the NFL in 2014 as the No. 1 overall pick and produced five strong seasons with the Houston Texans, earning Pro Bowl nods from 2016–2018 and totaling 29 sacks, over 200 tackles, and 64 tackles for loss. After his rookie deal he moved teams frequently, spending time with five franchises in six years as high salary demands and injury concerns, including microfracture knee surgery, limited long-term fits and prompted one-year "prove it" contracts. Returning to Texas with the Cowboys, he led the team with 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss and delivered game-changing plays late in the season.
