No Mas

I'm not quite sure why there has been such an uproar over Jadeveon Clowney's decision to do no more private workouts. He's been visiting with teams and going through all of the NFL's hoops for the past couple of months. He was on display at the South Carolina Pro Day. He was at the Scouting Combine. He played three years of big time college football. If the 2014 NFL Draft goes as it should, only one team needs to take a look at Jadeveon Clowney. The Houston Texans have what should be the only shot at selecting the freakishly-talented defensive end.

NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday that the ACL injury suffered by Clemson guard Brandon Thomas during a workout with the New Orleans Saints as the reason Clowney has called an end to his on-field workouts. Thomas' unfortunate injury may have given Clowney a convenient excuse but my guess is that his decision had nothing to do with it. Clowney has done enough to show that he's the most talented player in the draft. He doesn't need to do anything more on the field to prove that. One NFL executive told Rapoport that the decision wasn't a big deal. "No. He did everything at his Pro Day," said that executive. It's really the "talking-heads" in the media that think that Clowney's decision needs endless discussion. Some have questioned his work ethic ever since it was apparent that things came pretty easy on the football field. His work ethic seems to be the only question. There is no way to answer it until he steps onto an NFL field with his new NFL team. No pre-draft workout will answer it so it shouldn't be a surprise that Jadeveon Clowney has put an end to his. Good for him.
