Photo: Former South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney looks comically large next to NFL Countdown crew
Former South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney has finally proved his doubters wrong by having a great 2016 season for the Houston Texans.
On Saturday evening, Clowney and the Houston defense led the team to a 27-14 victory over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC wildcard playoff round.
Afterward, Clowney, who had an interception in the game, joined the NFL Countdown crew, where he looked like a giant:

It’s not an optical illusion. Jadeveon is THAT big. pic.twitter.com/ae9nt7E6JH

Clowney dwarfed the rest of the set, even though it has former NFL players Matt Hasselbeck, Trent Dilfer, Randy Moss and Charles Woodson on it.
Clowney stands at 6-foot-5, which is supposedly only a couple of inches taller than Moss, but he clearly looks like a giant in the above photos.
The Texans now have one playoff victory under their belt, but things will get much more difficult next weekend, when they either travel to New England or Kansas City for the divisional playoff round.
