The return

Last year’s first-overall pick missed virtually all of his rookie year because of injuries, but it looks like Jadeveon Clowney should be ready to go in year 2.

The return is incredibly exciting, because if you watched Clowney at South Carolina, you know what this dude is capable of.

Being able to see Clowney go through the recovery process will be interesting, and it will offer an insight to how much injuries can hamper a career. As fans, we read about injuries in the news, but seldom actually endure similar injuries.

Having Clowney’s recovery process be placed on television would help fans gain a newfound respect for him, as well as athletes everywhere.

Furthermore, casual fans saw virtually nothing from Clowney in 2014, so seeing how he practices and just how special this player is would be very compelling to watch.

Let’s be honest here: Clowney is one of the best athletes in the NFL. If he can get back to 100 percent, he’s going to wreak havoc and be a double-digit sack guy for the rest of his career. Getting a sneak peek of Clowney’s progress would be awesome to see.
