Only a few weeks ago, Jadeveon Clowney was known as the most feared pass rusher in college football. He made highlights with his hits and headlines with his comments about how he saw worry in quarterbacks' eyes.
Now he's stirring up a more subtle concern: Is he no longer a surefire top pick in a 2014 NFL draft that looks to be heavy on QBs?
The South Carolina defensive end has had a sporadic season, with illnesses, a foot ailment, and a rib injury that sidelined him last week against Kentucky. His conditioning and his commitment have been questioned in a way that's new for a pro prospect who was assumed to be destined for the top of the draft board next year.

"I'd be scared to death to take him if I had a top-10 pick," one NFL personnel executive told Yahoo Sports.

(56,177 posts)I can't think of the QB from LSU who went first round and was the biggest bust of all time...he may end up like that.

(32,092 posts)I thought that was a great field for him. Of course Safin was just a head case, not a lazy head case like the clown in your OP!
