Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will be returning home to the Carolina Panthers. He had previously played for Rock Hill S.C. High and South Carolina where other standout Stephon Gilmore performed. Clowney was such a standout last year in Baltimore’s Mike Macdonald’s system as he tallied a career-high 9.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
Clowney stated he wanted to return home to South Carolina to be with his family and aging grandfather. He did have offers from the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens but having spent 11 NFL seasons, earning three Pro Bowl acceptances, and continuing to add to his burst of career sacks (52.5). He selected Carolina along with DJ Wonnum.
