Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Cleveland Browns to worry about in Week 15
Jadeveon Clowney, Defensive End
Yes, I know we already discussed one defensive end here in Garrett, and he is clearly the more talented of the two here, but Jadeveon Clowney is no slouch.
Despite being a three-time Pro Bowler, Clowney never truly lived up to the hype surrounding him when he was selected first overall in the 2014 draft — in fact former Raider Khalil Mack from the same class takes the cake as the best defender from this class.
A lot can be said about the circumstances surrounding Clowney. Contract disputes, injuries, and overall team issues have contributed to him playing for his now-fourth team. Nevertheless, he is producing and will look to be another key component of a dangerous pass rush the Browns will unleash on the Raiders come Saturday.
Clowney like Garrett before him is another exceptional athlete who blends size and speed in a way in which offensive linemen have a tough time trying to combat. The Raiders’ offensive line struggles are the key reason why I am highlighting Clowney here as well. He may not be as dominant as his fellow defensive starting end in Garrett, but he must also be accounted for at all times.
