The guy is good, but it's not "tragic" if he doesn't play pro ball. Why do they single him out as someone who "should be able to go pro right now"? There's at least 25 to 30 players who could leave now and play pro. Clowney's not superman. The guy from Michigan blocked his ### pretty good all day in the bowl game. The only big play Clowney made no one even tried to block him, he just ran right thru there. Give it a rest, you ESPN, SEC butt sucking idiots.

instant superstar. That's a lot of strain and guilt to hold, hopefully he can translate it into raw hatred and fuel for his career.

One of the old talking stiffs, with a 20 y/o's hairstyle, said Clowney is the best player ever to play football.
Wow...

he was just too quick for the pulling right guard on the ISO

He lined up inside and took an inside move, so the TE never had a chance to chip him (he never touched anybody on the play) The FB let him go by his face, which was his job, but could have stopped it. In the end, it is a good play that alot of DE could have made with a quick first step to get by the pulling guard. The person at fault was the #### RB for not trapping up his helmet. How many times does a helmet come flying off like that when properly strapped? How many times did Tajh's helmet come off after they fitted him properly after the Auburn game?

Who is not yet a junior, who could not possibly increase his draft stock any more. That's what makes him unique, among current players, anyway.

...his situation is far from unique nor unprecedented. Andrew Luck was the unanimous #1 pick and no one was horrified he elected to come back.
Or is this the first time for a rising Junior?!?
I guess Johnny Football should hang his cleats up for a year as well?!?

The fact that he is a rising junior is the whole point.

Johnny Football will be lucky to be drafted in the first few rounds, much less the first few picks.

If all football players had to meet the same requirements as the general student population, few schools would bother to field a team.

This is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors spin move by ESPiN, in attempt to make Clowney a brand name before college football starts, in the push to be the first defensive player to win the Heisman.
It's nothing more than a hype machine tactic that ESPiN is glad to perpetuate on behalf of the SEC.

was really going to be the #1 pick (does anyone other than ESPN project this, by the way?) - what gives the NFL the right to tell him he can't start working?
Basically, as the #1 pick, he's sitting on $25 million in a guaranteed signing bonus...and he's being told by a bunch of rich guys (NFL owners) that he can't start playing "for his own good".
It's far from tragic, but it's not right.
