Defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney is the former No. 1 overall pick of the Houston Texans in the 2018 NFL Draft. After stops with the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, Clowney is ready to return to his old stomping grounds if there is a contract to be had.
Clowney is currently working out in Houston, Texas, and recently spoke to Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston about his current situation.
“It would be nice,” Clowney said about a potential return to the Texans. “All my family is here. Friends here. The guys I work out with can help me take care of my body a lot better being right up under them. … You never know. You never know what will happen. You never know what’s in front of you.”
Clowney is a fan of the new coach and recently added pieces.
“I see they putting the pieces together,” he said. “I’m a big fan of their new head coach (DeMeco Ryans). They’ve got some guys up front I think can go — Maliek (Collins) and they just got the rookie (Will Anderson) this year — It’ll be a big thing to see what they do this year. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do. Especially since I’m (based) here. I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”
The free-agent defensive end also contended he has a lot left in his tank.
“A lot,” Clowney said when asked about what he could offer a new team. “I’ll show you. We’ll see. There’s a lot of guys I know that can’t outdo me right now. I won’t talk about it, I don’t like to toot my own horn, I just like to show up and show out.”
