The Houston Texans had the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft. To inaugurate the Bill O’Brien era, Houston selected edge defender Jadeveon Clowney from South Carolina.
For a No. 1 overall pick, Clowney has not lived up to his draft billing, especially when Khalil Mack was taken No. 5 overall and Aaron Donald at No. 13 overall. Both players have earned at least one NFL Defensive Player of the Year with Donald actually on pace to be a first-ball Hall-of-Famer.
Clowney produced three Pro Bowl selections, but also completed the 2021 campaign on his fourth different team. Stability has not been one of his mainstays.
