Jadeveon Clowney is pretty close to realizing his potential just at the right time for the Houston Texans. He was the best player on the field in the Wild Card game against Oakland (a field that included Khalil Mack), and since Week 10 of the season he has been one of the game’s most dominant edge defenders.
As a draft prospect, Clowney was an athletic freak, which many expected would quickly turn him into one of the game’s most dominant pass-rushers, but there is more to rushing the passer than raw athleticism, and even now when he is enjoying his best form, pass rush is the weakest area of his game.
