There’s no doubt the Houston Texans want to see Jadeveon Clowney live up to his status as their No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL draft. But they also likely want the linebacker to do that as soon as possible.
And former NFL linebacker Brady Poppinga said in his latest Football By Football column that’s exactly where Clowney could run into some trouble.
While it’s certainly disappointing that Clowney appeared in just four games in 2014 after needing two separate knee surgeries, the second procedure the 22-year-old underwent — microfracture surgery — is particularly tough to rehab.
