Even with 12 pro campaigns in the books, a former Carolina Panthers pass rusher believes he’s got plenty left to offer.
Free-agent outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney recently spoke with Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston about his present and future in the game. And as he’s done for quite some time now, the 33-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowler is prepared to prove his worth.
“That’s the usual for me,” Clowney told Wilson. “The usual, all season. Come in, stand on my grind. I got a lot left in the tank. I don’t know if other people know that, but I know that, I can continue to prove that to people and go out there and show people I’m going to do that.”
Clowney, a Rock Hill, S.C. native and former No. 1 overall pick out of the University of South Carolina, spent the 2024 as a member of the Panthers. In his age-31 season, he recorded a team-leading 5.5 sacks along with 46 combined tackles.
After being released by Carolina, in a not-so-clean break, Clowney joined the Dallas Cowboys. He went on to notch 8.5 sacks over just 13 games in 2025.
