gbatap says
This is a dumb argument. No one is making him play, risking injury. He could just go to college and get an education like the rest of us.

I dunno about “quick”, his get-off looked about average for the guys around him. Good top speed, though it’s hard to tell relative to the guys around him.

I’m reminded of the other “wow he’s fast” under-weight high draft pick DE in the conversation of late, namely Bruce Irvin. I’m not saying Irvin is a bust, but he hasn’t exactly set the world on fire either.

Shot gun formation!

The snap!

Clowney intercepts the snap and runs for a touchdown!

This guy could be a very good player or he could be drafted by the Browns or Jets..

He is a natural, but he needs more time in the weight room to be a DE in the NFL. Of course he could transition to LB.

The video is impressive. Unfortunately there are not very many 5’8 200 lb left tackles in the NFL.

Spurrier is not the only or the first person to say he could have played pro ball right after high school. During his recruitment there was a lot of talk about how he could have gone right to the NFL. He wouldn’t have been an everyday DE but he could have played on special pass rush situations. He’s a freak of nature and the type of player that only comes around once every decade or two.

Nothing new here. NFL scouts said same thing 2 years ago. Dude will humiliate NFL.

There’s a ton of examples like that. For instance, in high school, Junior – Senior year I was able to throw about 94 mph. Nobody could hit me…period. All I needed to do was throw fastballs.

If I went to MLB at that point, big league hitters would have lit me up like the Vegas Strip.

I can’t get over those highlights. He looks to be about 8 feet tall. He’s twice the height of some of the opposing skill players and he runs away from the like they’re standing still.

Toast of the town in Rock Hill, SC, Handful of NFL players come from that town near Charlotte.

Ok, I was skeptical but that was ridiculous.

The play at 3:41 is amazing.

I’m a Chiefs fan and I’m pretty sure Bama would beat them and Jax as well. Might as well throw Oak in there too

Right, because if there’s two thing Spurrier knows, it’s defensive players and what it takes to be successful in the NFL.

Very impressive. However, the only player I have seen that could’ve made the jump from HS to the NFL is Herschel Walker.
