Jadeveon Clowney

Jadeveon Clowney has made a name for himself at the highest level. The star defensive end was roped in by the Houston Texans back in 2014 after he delivered impressive performances at the college level.

However, in his rookie season only, Clowney was plagued by injuries. He had to undergo a knee surgery as well in order to get back to the field. He didn’t play during the 2015 preseason but did deliver impressive performances whenever he got a chance to.

After staying with the Texans for a few years, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks but that relationship didn’t last long as he was sent to the Tennessee Titans in 2020.

Clowney was then roped in by the Cleveland Browns in 2021 and he continues to play for them. The talented defensive end is known for demolishing whosoever from the opposite team comes in front of him during games.
