Jadeveon Clowney is one of the best prospects on defense in recent years with transcendent athletic talent.

Steve Spurrier, who coached Clowney at South Carolina, talked about his physical gifts and downplayed his lack of production in 2013.

“Even though his production this year wasn’t near what it was last year, he had two or three guys waiting on him just about every play,” Spurrier said. “His run defense was very good, though, and he chased down a bunch of guys and made tackles. His sacks — he had to run around two or three guys just about every game. I don’t think teams will quite do that in the NFL, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

Spurrier suggested Clowney's work ethic wasn't as strong as other star players at South Carolina.

“He was OK. It wasn’t like Marcus Lattimore, you know, every player is a little different,” Spurrier said. “His work habits are pretty good, they’re not quite like Lattimore, maybe Stephon Gilmore, Melvin Ingram, some of those guys, but when the ball is snapped he’s got something no one else has.”
