Looking at the facts, we can all remember the hype of Clowney. First pick of the 2014 draft, he went to the Texans and played on the opposite side of J.J. Watt. Clowney had a remarkable college career and was projected to be a top DE his rookie season. However what did we get ? Injuries, missed tackles, missed sacks, it is yet to be proven that Clowney is not a bust.
Looking at it now, we saw the first draft pick from Tampa Bay to be quarterback Jameis Winston (Right) and second draft pick from Tennessee is Marcus Mariota. Now looking at their characteristics, lets start with Marcus. Speedy and has a decent arm, he can remind us of Robert Griffin III, who had similar careers in college. However RGIII had a major injury in which his right knee was heavily injured; can Marcus have the same fate? Winston nearly shares the same characteristics as Mark Sanchez, who was also a first round draft pick and went to the Jets. Even though Sanchez had a great receiver core and running back core, he went absolutely no where; all his hype died within a few years. The fact that these rookies are very popular and quite talented, we can expect much from them, and hopefully they will not end up like their near similar NFL "elders".
NICE!
