Star In The Making
With the 2013-2014 NFL season over with, all 32 NFL franchises are looking to restructure and rebuild their squads. This can be done by appointing coaches, or new coaches to new positions. Acquiring new players, whether through free agency, the NFL Draft, or trades. And last but not least, resigning players, and working on what, or in this case, who you already have. Now to me, the NFL Draft is a very good way of obtaining talent, especially with the types of athletes being produced today. A lot of them already being able to play in NFL games, and make an impact from the start of their rookie campaign. A prime example, is Jadeveon Clowney. Famous for his bone crushing hit against Michigan Wolverines' running back Vincent Smith, which jarred the ball loose, then Clowney just effortlessly reaching out for the ball and recovering it himself, is just a raw talent. His combination of size, strength, and speed, especially at his age, this early in his life, is almost unheard of. Clowney, a native of South Carolina, born and raised. Attended and played for the University of South Carolina. A consencious All-American throughout his collegiate career, and high school. Clowney stands 6'6 and weighs in at 249 pounds. Now this combined with his speed and strength makes him virtually unstoppable. He possesses an uncanny ability to rush the passer, and stop the run, which is a skill highly coveted in football. He has so much potential. The thought of how dominant a player he can be once he is drafted and on the field in the pros is scary. Clowney is an obvious star in the making, if not already viewed as one.
