(GG-2) NFL News

After Jadaveon Clowney signed his four year contract with the Houston Texans worth about 22 million dollars he stated that "That was the first step getting here. The next step is taking it farther than that. Try to get better at the game.....I am still learning. There is a curve here, trying to adapt." The Texans new coaching staff throws a lot at all of its players. ESPN stated that for rookies, it's that much more as their process would be difficult even in a simpler system. For Clowney they are working a lot with him as an outside linebacker, defensive end, 3 techniques and even a nose tackle. ESPN states that "You teach it by package," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "First thing you teach is how to play the Sam position or the right outside linebacker, left outside linebacker position in a 3-4, you start with that." Jadaveon Clowney's biggest concern throughout this whole process is that now he can finally take care of his mom. ESPN also stated that Clowney said "Gotta take care of my money," Clowney said. "Save it -- after I buy my mom something nice." Clowney's exact words were "Now I can finally take care of my mom." ESPN stated that Clowney says "It's a lot," Clowney said. "It's like, if I learn something [then] they throw something else at me, I might forget what I learned the first time. I always go back and review my notes. Just take one day at a time learning." Clowney has been working hard and giving a lot of effort trying to get better and more prepared for the upcoming season. I believe that Clowney will be a very big asset and make a very big difference for the Houston Texans defense in the upcoming season.
