We need the Sports Science guys in here to evaluate what travels further on a football field, Smith's helmet or a Tebow pass.

At the risk of pulling a Heelswxman talking about playing against Julius Peppers in high school, I'm going to detail my experience facing Jadeveon in HS. He played for Rock Hill South Pointe, and they were one of the teams at a 4-team scrimmage prior to my junior year.


He was the best player I ever faced bar none. He was only a sophomore at the time. First play from scrimmage, he blows up the RT (who would go on to play FCS ball), and is athletic enough to run out and intercept the option pitch and return it for a TD. We didn't go at his side at all the rest of the scrimmage. Even with that, we rolled our QB every passing play away, and chipped with a back/WR and he still harrased our QB. I chipped him one time when I came in motion and I'm not even sure he felt the contact. We were a good team that year too, made it to the 2nd round of the state playoffs, and he just dominated like he was going up against little kids.

My Nephew practiced against Clowney in the Under Armor All American HS Allstar Game.

He plays at North Carolina now, I asked him this summer, after 2 years of playing FBS ball, who's the best player he's seen. He said Clowney in that Allstar game. He said Clowney's speed was just on an entirely different level.

You watch the replay and you can believe it, He fires off that line a split second before every other South Carolina D lineman and it seems like the only thing he does is continue accelerating through the runningback.
