NFL hits Jadeveon Clowney with 2 fines

Former South Carolina standout Jadeveon Clowney has more fines than sacks on the 2020 season.

Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that Clowney received fines of $20,000 and $15,000 from the NFL for two instances of unnecessary roughness in last week’s Tennessee Titans win over the Minnesota Vikings.

After sitting out as a free agent until the last minute, Clowney is off to a slow start with Tennessee this season. Through three games, he has made 7 total tackles, 2 TFL and 5 quarterback hits.

Clowney signed with the Titans after playing last season with Seattle. He was a No. 1 overall pick by the Houston Texans, where he played for 5 seasons (2014-18).

Tennessee’s Jadeveon Clowney was fined a total of $35,000 for unnecessary roughness twice in last Sunday’s game vs. #Vikings. He got two fines of $20,000 and $15,000. He had an illegal blindside block on Justin Jefferson that nullified a Titans interception return for TD.
