Check out DeAndre Jordan's awesome dunk Sunday night. What was better: Jordan's dunk or Jadeveon Clowney's monster tackle?

okay, you're forreal going to force me to start liking SC. I'm like Ace Sanders, Jadeveon Clowney, and Connor Shaw now.

Jadeveon Clowney wants to break the NCAA sack record set by Derrick Thomas. The South Carolina Gamecocks defensive end talks about setting records, obtaining insurance policies, and his weight and his speed.

Jadeveon Clowney is 6'6" tall, now weighs 273lbs., and ran a 4.54 40-yard dash.that's scary!

Clowney wants to shatter more records: When Lorenzo Ward sat down with Jadeveon Clowney and his parents a few days after the Outback Bowl victory over Michigan highlighted by "the hit heard 'round the college football world," the topic of whether or not he would play in 2013 wasn't addressed. At that point, everybody just assumed Clowney would line up for one more season for the Gamecocks before signing a lucrative NFL contract as the No. 1 overall pick in April 2014. But the national media grabbed tightly onto the "will he play or won't he play" non-story and curiously wouldn't let go for a couple of weeks, turning Clowney's status for 2013 into Topic A, B and C on the sports meter. ESPN feature reporter Tom Rinaldi even traveled to Columbia on Tuesday, the first day of spring practice, and popped the question to the 6-foot-6, 272-pound defensive end. Clowney, of course, said he would play in 2013. On Thursday, local media had their turn to incessantly pepper him with questions about "the decision." "I d ...

Did you happen to catch how polite Jadeveon Clowney was during his interview with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi? You could hardly tell that was the same player w

Ok, enough already. South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney made a monster hit, on a Running Back who was JUST handed the ball, and Clowney went UNBLOCKED! Asking him if he will go pro is a clown question bro. He will go on to the next level, but that hit is WAY overrated. Funny, but overrated. And a miss call of helmet to helmet.

Jadeveon Clowney is back on the football field, getting ready for another season -- at South Carolina. After an offseason of questions about whether the defensive end should play college ball this fall and risk being injured, he let his actions show how he felt Tuesday. He participated in drills, working on his technique in preparation for the Gamecocks' 2013 season. Several NFL analysts say the 6-foot-6, 256-pound sophomore -- who did not speak with reporters after his workout -- would be the first pick in this year's draft if he were eligible to turn pro. "He understands this is a big year for coming for him performance-wise, academically and athletically," Gamecocks defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said. "He's doing well the last two or three weeks handling the situation." Clowney's been the face of college football since his hit on Michigan's Vincent Smith -- ESPN's version on YouTube.com has gotten over 3.2 million viewings -- sent the runner's helmet flying and laid the player out flat before Clow ...

I feel so bad for Mich RB Vincent Smith. They still show that Jadeveon Clowney hit on TV everyday. He gotta be on suicide watch, let him be

I wonder if Vincent Smith, you know, the guy that had his helmet punted by the force Jadeveon Clowney, ever psychologically recovered?

Jadeveon Clowney's potential is sky high, and that's why South Carolina coaches aren't satisfied with his 21 career sacks and 35.5 tackles for loss.

Jadeveon Clowney blowing up Vincent Smith is still ESPN's top play? And he can't play in the NFL. Please. He's reached Tebow hysteria.

Vincent Smith getting Prison Raped by Jadeveon Clowney is still the best of the best on sportscenter lmao

Thanks to Jadeveon Clowney, Vincent Smith has now had more national air time than he ever did as a Michigan Wolverine.

Jadeveon Clowney's hit on Vincent Smith is still the best play, a 30 time champ. Wow and this happened on New Years Day

Jadeveon Clowney's hit on Michigan's Vincent Smith is still the number one play on Sportscenter

Tom Rinaldi sits down with South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney to talk about his life after the tackle against Michigan.

I laugh every time I see Jadeveon Clowney smack Vincent Smith

Not taking anything away from Jadeveon Clowney, because he is a bad dude. But his hit on Vincent Smith being SportsCenters best of the best this long is ridiculous. Three factors make it less impressive to me. 1. Vincent Smith is the size of an undersized reciever (5'6" 175 lbs) and Clowney is a man of a DE (6'6" 260(ish) lbs.) 2. Clowney was UNTOUCHED off the line 3. He hit the dude milliseconds after he took the handoff and was still standing straight up with no time to react or brace. The game winning steal and full court shot by the high schooler to win the state championship was 10X more impressive. Just sayin

Jadeveon Clowney said that is the greatest of all time!! Don't believe him, ask Vincent Smith what could happen.. Lol

I just want to know how Vincent Smith feels after SportsCenter has him getting blown up by Jadeveon Clowney on repeat!

Vincent Smith's life has forever been changed! He's the human highlight real! For basically being a crash test dummy for Jadeveon Clowney!

Jadeveon Clowney reportedly ran 4.5 40 recently. Even more impressive? Giving Vincent Smith piggyback ride at the time.

Jadeveon Clowney ran a 4.5 forty time at South Carolina's spring practice today .. keep in mind this dude is pushing 280!

"NOW can I play running back?" - Jadeveon Clowney to Steve Spurrier

the falcons need to trade up for Eddie Lacy and then lose all their games this year so they can get Jadeveon Clowney

Think the Falcons could get Jadeveon Clowney & Marcus Lattimore for a BOGO deal?

Sorry.Jadeveon Clowney most hood name in college football right now...jus sayin

because they got Robert Nkemdiche and he alone is going to make your school a top 10 class. He is next Jadeveon Clowney

And then there were two. There's been some serious buzz lately about the No. 2 guy in our countdown. No. 2: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina, So.

PTW (Players To Watch) Georgia- QB Aaron Murray who had 36 TDs and 10 INTs in 2012, RB Todd Gurley who as a Freshman ran for 1,385 yards, 17 TDs and also ran a kick return back for a TD, WR Malcom Mitchell is one to watch for the Bulldawgs. South Caorlina- DE Jadeveon Clowney,who as a SO in 2012 had a dominated beastly season,hes a big player to watch in 2013 and his JR year, WR Bruce Ellington, DE Chaz Sutton, and QB Dylan Thompson, who will take most snaps in Spring trainning while QB Connor Shaw recovers from Surgey.

Former South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore said he is sure that sophomore DE Jadeveon Clowney will play the 2013 season. "He could (sit out) but it's not a good move for him," Lattimore said. "He's not going to do that to his teammates." We have a feeling this will not remain a story as the 2013 season approaches.

I just happened across an online poll where people were actually voting on which defensive end would have a better year next year...A) Jadeveon Clowney or B) Robert Nkemdiche? This has to be th biggest joke ever. Clowney will be the pick in next years draft. Nkemdiche hasn't even stepped foot on a football field. SEC linemen will pancake that boy up and down the field. Ole Miss peeps need to come on back down to earth. Planet Voltron rang and wants their acid back.

I still watch that Jadeveon Clowney hit.

I don't care too much for the media,ESPN analysts is all on Jadeveon Clowney bandwagon.The same people that's hyping Clowney up, will be the same people that will bring him down and throw him to the wolves. If he don't make it and become a NFL bust.

Jadeveon Clowney and Marcus Lattimore have talked since the football season ended, just not about injuries. Yet that seems to be all everyone is talking about when it comes to the South Carolina duo. Lattimore, rehabbing from his horrific knee injury in hopes of being selected in the upcoming NFL draft, said recently that he and Clowney talk about what's ahead for them in football, not about what might go wrong. "That's not something that's in my mind," he said. Lattimore hasn't given Clowney any advice about the future, but would not trade his experience at South Carolina, even with two serious knee injuries. "I don't regret anything," Lattimore said. "I know that everything happens for a reason." Because of Lattimore's injury, questions have been raised on whether Clowney should skip this season, train on his own and protect a potential $22 million investment as the No. 1 pick in 2014. Clowney has said he's playing. Still, he just finished his sophomore season and won't be eligible for the pros for anot ...

Lions rumors; It's a rough day in the NFL today, reports are that the Colts informed Dwight Freeney that he will not be resigned. Some have called Freeney a prefect fit in the Wide 9 defense. Lions fans, do you want to enlist Freeney's talents. He turns 33 Feb 19th, he has 107.5 career sacks, also battled injuries last yr. When right he is a QB's nightmare, however IMO he is not a fit here and too old for me. I don't like older players unless there is a special reason. Freeney has decline all over him and I refuse to wrap up the 2yrs/ 16 to 20 million it would take. -Jason

Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney have talked _ just not about injuries

South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has been the source of a lot of debate among NFL draft observers, even though the 6-6, 260-pound sophomore notched 13 sacks in 2012 isn't eligible until the 2014

The South Carolina star could sit out the season, but he'd be better served lobbying to jump to the NFL this year.

Thank you to ESPN for continuing to cover this ridiculous Jadeveon Clowney "story." All it does is publicize us that much more.

We may not know which player will be selected at the top of the 2013 NFL draft, but we have a pretty good indication of who will garner No. 1 attention in 2014...

To play or not to play? Who thinks the DE from South Carolina, Jadeveon Clowney, should play next year? Who says sit out and avoid injuries for the money?

I don’t pretend to understand how Jadeveon Clowney must feel. Unfortunately for me, there’s no multi-million-dollar payday in my future. But from the outside looking in I can only feel sadness that the changing world for premier athletes has come down to this.

Happy Birthday to the monster jadeveon clowney!

Jadeveon Clowney - DL - Player South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney is seeking an insurance policy on his 2013 junior season as protection against injury. Clowney, fully expected to be a top-two pick in the 2014 NFL draft, recently contacted Coastal Advisors LLC about a policy protecting him against "catastrophic injury," like the one suffered by teammate Marcus Lattimore in 2012. The policy could be worth up to $5 million. 6-foot-6, 256-pound Clowney racked up 13.5 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss as a true sophomore. Some have suggested that sitting out the 2013 college season could be in Clowney's best interest, he has so little to gain and so much to lose. Wow. I've never heard of player sitting out a year of college, but the idea of insurance policy is wise.

Nobody will ever beat jadeveon clowney on top plays, holding it down since the new year

So there is this "rumor" that says South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney may sit out the year because he is a soph in college and cant enter the NFL draft til next year!! This guy is about 6-7 and 260 lbs and rated to be the pick.BTW he DESTROYED michigans running back in that bowl game!!! lol What do you think about this situation???

I love Peyton, going way back, so fun to watch. I could easily go LeBron, Von Miller, Adrian Peterson or Jadeveon Clowney

Jadeveon Clowney is obviously going to play for South Carolina in 2013, but he will take out an insurance policy just in case of catastrophic injury.

Happy Birthday, Jadeveon Clowney! ...and thank You Jesus for teaching me the true meaning of love :)

Nerlens Noel projected number 1 pick suffers ACL injury and stands to lose millions because the NBA forces kids to do one year of college. That's why I agree the Jadeveon Clowney should sit out next year. Nobody's gonna look out for you like you.

People suggesting Jadeveon Clowney sit out his Junior season are RIDICULOUS! The idea is OBSURD! ANY TRUE ATHLETE PLAYS FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME! NOT MONEY! Athletes like Mike Williams and Maurice Clarrette, who where premiere athletes in college but wanted paper DID NOT THRIVE in the NFL. They flopped!!

Nerlens Noel's injury should push NBA to make their draft process like the MLB. Noel's injury also continues the ridiculous narrative about Jadeveon Clowney sitting out a year.

University of South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was on the sideline when a teammate suffered a major injury that will affect his NFL draft stock. While such is the inherent risk in playing football, Clowney is taking no chances when it comes to taking safeguards that will help protect his bright financial future. Clowney is seeking insurance for his upcoming junior season. Richard "Big Daddy" Salgado, the president of Coastal Advisors LLC, told FOXSports.com that “a member of Clowney’s camp� inquired with his company about obtaining a policy worth as much as $5 million in case of a catastrophic injury that prematurely ends his playing career in 2013. Coastal Advisors has insured and guided 35 other top college prospects over the past 15 years in similar fashion, Salgado said. The NCAA began providing the chance for football players to purchase insurance in 1990 and later expanded that offer to athletes in other sports. Banks are arranged for loans in case the athlete or his family can†...

That's unheard of...a college football player sitting out a year because he wasn't eligible to go to the NFL yet, in order to make sure he avoids injury & remains a Top 5 pic. The strange thing is, I'm ok with Jadeveon Clowney deciding to sit out over helping his team win...we did just see Marcus Lattimore (his teammate) get destroyed & now his NFL career is in jeopardy

I just saw a hit of a life time this dude took his helmet off who is dis kid

Should Jadeveon Clowney sit out in 2013? That's what one writer said Sunday, and it went viral in the college football world. Steve Spurrier threw his two cents in today.

SMDH! It's a helluva' sports environment we operate in when it's suggested that a premier college football player (South Carolina Gamecocks Jadeveon Clowney) should sit out his junior year to avoid injury prior to his NFL Draft eligibility in 2014! Disgraceful! ~ Mike

It would be a completely reasonable idea for Jadeveon Clowney to sit out next season and just focus on getting ready for the draft... right?

Expecting Jadeveon Clowney type production from Nkemdiche is being unrealistic. Not the same type of player.

I saw that Tom Lemming compared Robert Nkemdiche to a combo of Reggie White + Jadeveon Clowney...Don't set his expectations TOO high. Unreal

not to mention some will be looking for Jadeveon Clowney type play from Nkemdiche. Man

Jadeveon Clowney big hit is the 15-time Best of the Best Top Plays champ on

Jadeveon Clowney , the hard-hitting defensive end, will anchor an elite defense that could propel the South Carolina Gamecocks to the 2013...

Ok , I know the BBall game is on, but WOW the football program landing players like they are! IM sure the NCAA will set up a special task force to investigate!

SEC players among early Heisman favorites. The sports betting site Bovada released its 2013 Heisman Trophy odds this week (only for entertainment purposes, of course), and it's no surprise that Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is atop the list. Never mind that Ohio State's Archie Griffin is the only player to have won two Heisman trophies (1974 and 1975). Manziel will go into the 2013 season as the guy to beat for college football's most prestigious individual award. In recent years, Florida's Tim Tebow and Alabama's Mark Ingram have been in that same position, but didn't pull off the double. So regardless of what the oddsmakers say, Manziel faces an uphill task of trying to win the Heisman for a second year in a row. According to Bovada, Manziel is a 4-to-1 favorite. The No. 2 player on that list is Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller at 7-1. There are four SEC players in the top 8. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is listed at 8-1 along with Oregon running back De'Anthony Thomas. Alabama quarterba ...

I think the Packers should pick up Kyle Vanden Bosch, he was just released from the lions. He'd be a great add to the defense.

jadeveon clowney DECKED Vincent Smith, top highlight

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Yes. By all means. Let's joke about the different ways that Reuben Foster can alter or cover that outdated AU tattoo on his forearm. Wear an arm sleeve 24/7. See a tattoo removal specialist in Tuscaloosa. Add the word "Beat" above it. And while we're at it, let's look at Foster...

It's early -- too early as they would say -- but that doesn't mean idle speculation isn't fun as Bovada has released its odds list for 2013 Heisman contenders, and according to them, junior defensi

The month started with several SEC teams playing bowl games, and it will come to a close with deer antler spray dominating headlines. Talk about a roller coaster of story lines...

Re-watching the 4th quarter of the bowl game. Clowney is a beast. "South Carolina deserves to have the football... And they do!" says Mike Tirico. "Don't make a mistake against Jadeveon Clowney; He'll ruin your day." says Jon Gruden.

Jadeveon Clowney doesn't spell his last name Clowny. But the Clowny account has more followers.

Manti Te'o is now forgotten and yesterday's trash, Jadeveon Clowney is a so much better defensive player.

Is it sad that the real Jadeveon Clowney has half the followers of the fake Jadeveon Clowney? Although the fake one is kinda funny.

Got Milk? No, you don't. Jadeveon Clowney has it.

Many children grow up sleeping with a little teddy bear. Jadeveon Clowney grew up sleeping with an actual bear.

I met Jadeveon Clowney y'all! He told me Happy Birthday and everything!!! 😘

Anyone following the Manti Te'o story? Just like Notre Dame, it was all smoke and mirrors. A mediocre defensive player, all hype built on a soft schedule. His statement regarding his scam is as weak as ND's defensive line! He and his cousin, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, dreamed this up to promote his Heisman chances, his stardom, his persona because, as it turns out after countless interviews, in real life he's a plain, uninteresting middle-of-the-pack football player from a program that has lost the luster of its legacy and is long past its prime. (Amazing BTW that he was in the Heisman discussion but SC's Jadeveon Clowney wasn't!). Suddenly, this evening, he's telling the world that he had never really met this 'girlfriend'; that she was 'someone he met on line'; that he's a victim of a hoax! Just tell me where it is that someone calls a person they've never met their girlfriend? Oh, I know - in fantasy land! Right next to Notre Dame's football ranking. Manti Te'o? What a disappointment on EVERY level, on fiel . ...

No one would say it to Manti's face tho. Except jadeveon clowney

Jadeveon clowney is eatin up manti on here

Jadeveon Clowney might actually be the funniest person alive.

Have been hearing tidbits on fb regarding a story about the ND player's dead girlfriend. Just heard specific details on fox. OMG! Reportedly was a hoax. Saying girlfriend never existed. Just goes to show that this instant media fascination will eventually come back to bite. Evidently media reports before they check anything anymore. Only one we can believe in is the Lord. How sad.

"You wanna know what's weirder than Manti Teo making up a girlfriend then pretend killing her? Nothing." -Jadeveon Clowney

Not a real account is Jadeveon Clowney

I'm so confused on the Teo' situation. Reserving judgement for now...unlike Jadeveon Clowney.

This Jadeveon Clowney high school highlight video is the funniest movie you'll see all year. Just watch the first clip

I really hope that Jadeveon Clowney account is real

Manti Te'o 2nd in Heisman voting while Jadeveon Clowney, Jarvis Jones, and Damontre Moore all sat at home. Even bigger joke now.

is awesome, but Jadeveon Clowney is The Terminator. Go

Another hit for the NCAA today: Reports surfacing that Jadeveon Clowney is actually a rhinoceros.

Jadeveon Clowney is going off on Mango Teo

I'm sorry about that, but Jadeveon Clowney is too funny 😂😂

Ok so again I say Teo needs to give Jadeveon Clowney needs to give him his award. He tug on everyone heart with the HOAX. He messed up the BCS Championship and now the inspirational story was false. They should have put him on Catfish.

If you're having girl problems, I feel bad for you. Manti Teo has 99 problems, but a girl isn't one.

Everyone is making such a big deal about Manti..but didn't you all believe in Santa? Who feels stupid now?

Manti Te'O has 99 problems but a girl ain't one...

Yeah, because when you're a football star at a college campus, the first place you look for a gf in online. Draft stock...plummeting.

In retrospect, Te'o had an amazing season based off of the motivation and inspiration which he received from his family and fans in regards to an event that never happened. Yeah, that person was cruel but may have been a very important piece of him being the best Linebacker in college football and ultimately making him a Millionaire in the upcoming draft. I guess the lesson here is, "meeting your girlfriend at church, school, a bar, the grocery store, the dog park, yoga class, or through a mutual friend is almost full proof from preventing situations like this from happening". Get off the internet you weirdos!

Manti Te'o won seven awards this past season.I'd say at least 65 Pct. of those were off a sympathy vote.

So, what does Aj McCarron do for an encore? He already has two national championships under his belt, and a smoking hot girlfriend named Katherine Webb. Maybe he'll challenge Johnny Manziel for the Heisman Trophy.that's already going to Jadeveon Clowney. Sorry, guys!! The only thing you'll both win will be the same hit he gave Vincent Smith in the Outback Bowl. BOOM!!!

Feel bad for Jadeveon Clowney in not winning the Bednarik and Lombardi awards, which were given to Manti Te'o partially on the basis of the story of the death of his fictitious girlfriend. Voters should vote based on onfield performance and not media hype.

I never cared for Manti Te'o, he seemed like he was a fraud as a player perpetrated by the media.now we find out he is also a fraud as a person. Hard to belive he was played like that...and if he was...LMFAO!

Manti Te'o got votes for the Heisman & other awards all because he was surrounded by death & he persevered to have a great season through it all.now we find out there was no girlfriend & no death? He don't even get an invite to NY without the sympathy points, Jadeveon Clowney would have taken his spot.

Houston cornerback Johnathan Joseph still believes the Texans are a better team that the Patriots, despite the two beatings New England put on his team.

Is there any possible way that the Eagles can draft Jadeveon Clowney in like the 4th round and just keep his rights until he's actually eligible for the draft? Like Red Auerbach and the Celtics did for Larry Bird back in the day

ESPN's Mel Kiper just said Jadeveon Clowney "could be the best defensive end to come into the league since Bruce Smith in 1985." ~~ Go Gamecocks! ~~
