South Carolina Gamecocks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney adds one chapter after another to his Paul Bunyan-like football existence. At Thursday’s spring practice, he reportedly blocked a field goal attempt in the most surreal fashion imaginable.

Love watching the legend grow. Can't wait to see what he does in 2013

Also, I know this video is really old but I just saw it for the first time the other day. I think it belongs in a "Legend of Clowney" thread none-the-less.

I hope this is true.
I'm still trying to figure out HOW...did our line just not block at all?

If Clowney has the endurance to do this or they could just do it against a few lesser teams,,,,, they need to give him the ball on a jet sweep type play and just make sure the defensive end on that side is blocked. He will turn the corner too fast for the linebackers to get him and then have a cornerback and safety hopelessly trying to tackle him. It will go for 20+ yards everytime. Let him score like that a few times. Or use him on punt coverage team ala Melvin Ingram fake and let him score somehow. This could help catapult his Heisman campaign. A couple of good blocked fields goals would be awesome Heisman material also.

He was offsides by a good bit from folks I know who were there. Not as amazing as reported. still, he is the best there is. We don't need to pump it unfairly.

Not even the kickers can escape from Clowney's sight!

sc455 · 03-23-2013, 07:06 AM

he was not offsides, clowney is just ridiculous off the ball. certain peoples' minds cant fathom his prowess so they just tell themselves that he is offsides. its easier to think that than accept the alternative..the alternative being that time and space rules dont apply to a fellow human being.

Friend of mine on the video crew said that he was offside....wayyyy offside. The play was blown dead because of it, and the ball wasn't snapped until he was 3/4ths of the way to the holder. Said that was why he was able to block it the way he did.

It doesn't really matter if it's true or not...this is what becoming a legend will do. It's like the stories of Bo.

FWIW, I was told this by a friend on the coaching staff. I think he would know.

Well that settles it

Well my 2nd cousin who is a friend of Lattimore's aunt said Clowney plays practice blindfolded so that just made this even more impressive.
