Should Jadeveon Clowney should consider skipping 2013?

08:18 AM ET 02.12 | With the first pick in the 2013 NFL draft, would the Kansas City Chiefs take South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney? The Chiefs might not select Clowney even if he were eligible. But he'd be a contender. If he played basketball or baseball, if he specialized in golf or tennis, if he boxed or fought in a steel cage, he'd already be a pro. ... If you're Clowney, what do you do? Give the school everything you have and try to upend the Crimson Tide? Play not to get hurt? Or sign with an agent, get assigned coaches and trainers and spend the season pumping up and preparing for the pros? If Clowney doesn't return to Columbia, South Carolina would be cheated. At the moment, only Clowney is.

No.

I read that article the other day. It's idiotic. Mike Williams had a few questions to answer after sitting out a whole season and the time away from the field definitely showed when he suited up for the Lions.

nope, he needs to play. he is not eligible for the Draft, so even if he took a year off and trained, there is always the possibility he could get hurt.

Why is this even debate able? Of course he should play. It is unfair to associate Clowney's name with this absurd suggestion.
