Football 101: Jadeveon Clowney's impact on the run game

The Texans defense didn’t have much going for it down in South Florida last Sunday and that might be an understatement. There were really two players that I thought played up to expectations and beyond. Defensive end J.J. Watt won’t like the fact that I’m singling him out as having a Watt-like ball game in a loss like this but he did make a handful of impact plays in the game.

The only other player that truly stood out was a guy many didn’t even think would see the field in 2015. Jadeveon Clowney, the Texans’ top selection in the 2014 draft, has been a bright spot amongst some truly ugly defensive action.
