Jadeveon Clowney should be making his debut with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. To have earned such an honor just six days after signing with the team! Clowney, a dynamic veteran defensive end, brings further experience and skill, making their front seven even more frightening. He’ll compete with a very skilled group that includes Sam Williams, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Marshawn Kneeland and James Houston. His addition should only help beef up the Cowboys’ impressive defensive front as they get ready to take on their next foe.
Having played just 47 snaps this season with the Tennessee Titans, Clowney seems excited to get a fresh start. “I’m here now and I’m just glad for the opportunity to be here to keep playing football 12 years in,” he stated, highlighting his commitment to the game. The former first overall pick has a remarkable ability to recalibrate. After opting out in 2020 due to COVID concerns, he took the field for Tennessee in Week 1 and played close to 40 snaps in his debut game.
On Wednesday, the defensive end will start his first practice in Dallas. He’ll be reunited with Brian Schottenheimer, who was the Seahawks OC for the year Clowney so enjoyed playing for Pete Carroll with the Seattle Seahawks in 2019. Schottenheimer sang the highest of praises for what easily could be the best defensive player in the nation. This guy, on the field, he’s a good football player. Schottenheimer sounded optimistic that we’ll see Clowney back for this one. Still, he will take the final call on the snap count as game time draws near. “I do expect to play, but I don’t know a snap count,” Clowney remarked regarding his potential involvement in the upcoming game.
Clowney has been vocal about his excitement to join star linebacker Micah Parsons. “Micah Parsons is Micah Parsons. I’m Jadeveon Clowney,” he commented, reflecting on the talent surrounding him. His agent, Kennard McGuire, emphasized that joining the Cowboys was a priority for Clowney, underscoring the player’s eagerness to contribute to the team’s success.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reacted positively to the signing of Clowney following Dallas’ recent victory against the New York Giants. Clowney’s experience adds experience and knowledge that can’t be matched to the locker room. If they can maintain this momentum, they should be in line for plenty more success this season.
Yes, all of this is happening while Clowney prepares for his first practice with the Cowboys. His fans and teammates are eager to see how he will influence the team’s performance on the field.
