re: Jadeveon Clowney Overrated

This is not a flame, I am sincerely asking. Does anyone think Clowney is overrated?

He's never led the SEC in a single statistic. He finished behind Jarvis Jones in sacks two years in a row.

I don't think I've seen Jarvis Jones name on the rant 1/100th of the times I've seen jadeveon though?

Obviously jadeveon is a physical specimen, but he's lazy, sloppy, takes series off and he tripped into his huge hit on Michigan.

I'm hesitant to call him overrated; however, there are few things that indicate he isn't worth all the hype yet.

1. He gained 4.5 of his 13 sacks against Clemson. That's a significant percentage.
2. LSU, Tennessee, and Michigan had success versus the South Carolina D-line, lead by Clowney.

This is his last season, and barring a huge step back, a major injury, legal troubles, etc. he's a lock to be a Top 5 Draft Pick. Nevertheless, he hasn't fulfilled his enormous potential. Some guys can shut him down 1-1, and he could use some work on run blocking. His highlight games last season were Georgia and Clemson. No one wants to mention his bad games.
