Jadeveon Clowney pens contract with Houston Texans

First-round Draft pick Jadeveon Clowney officially signs a contract to join the Houston Texans.

First-round Draft pick Jadeveon Clowney has officially signed a contract to join the Houston Texans.

Clowney became the first overall pick in the Draft last month, with the pass rusher now penning a contract thought to be worth $22m (£13.1m).

It is believed that the rising youngster will slot straight into Houston's starting outfit, which already includes the formidable JJ Watt in defense.

If selected, Clowney could take up the strong-side linebacker role previously made famous by NFL star Willie McGinest.
